Santander

Chocolate Santander is an homage to those professional pastry chefs who are always on the lookout for the very best to serve to their diners. Its great taste, its smooth, shiny texture, its varied presentations and outstanding quality will give you much satisfaction. A long story stands behind this chocolate, starting from the planting of seedlings to the high technology used by Nacional the Chcolates in its making.

Chocolate Santander, the only single origin chocolate produced in Colombia and one of South America's most special, takes its name from the State of Santander, Eastern Colombia. The privileged terrains of the Andean mountains of Yariguies, yields Colombia's best cacao known by its exquisite and delicate flavor.

did you know
A 2005 study based at Tufts University in Medford, MA found that dark chocolate actually helps to lower blood pressure. In a controlled experiment comparing 20 different people, researchers found that dark chocolate was a significant factor in lowering blood pressure, while white chocolate was not. The key ingredient thought to cause this phenomenon is flavonoids.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.

How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.

If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
