In the last few years, my childhood memories of chocolate eggs has become more prominent. I have not celebrate Easter in my home town for many many years, but I always said that I have never seen such a beautiful chocolate eggs than the ones are made in my home town of San Luis Potosí, México.
Of course when I was a child I didn’t care about the looks , I just wanted to eat them. I remember biting the sugar flowers one by one and eating the tiny anis candy caramels inside them. My grandfather used to say slowly because you are not in a hurry…
Today I woke up thinking in these chocolate eggs and I was lucky enough to find the website of the 80 year old chocolate company that made these wonderful creations – Costanzo. I was really happy to see that they are still making these chocolate creations with the same care and tradition as when I was younger.
These company is all about tradition, their slogan is still the same even if it is a bit odd by today’s standards… “Más Dulces que los Dulces Besos de la Novia” which it means “Sweeter than the Sweetest Girlfriend Kisses”. I always get a kick out of this phrase.
HAPPY EASTER!!! - FELICES PASCUAS!!!

ReplyDeleteIt's great to see that the tradition of the local chocolate company is still strong in places like Mexico.
ReplyDeleteThere's something special about savouring a piece of chocolate that has been made the same for decades.
