Chocolatines Introduces Chocolate Collections Created for Both Him and Her

Schaumburg, IL, January 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and Chocolatines is ready with their chocolate creations that appeal to both men and women. Valentine’s is the day when lovers celebrate the approach of spring and look forward to things to come. What better to pair with a night out and a bouquet of roses than a box of chocolates? Recently, people haven’t just been purchasing a box of chocolates at the store. Instead, many men are showing their love in the form of luxury chocolates from local chocolatiers.

“In this economy, couples want to show each other that their love is meaningful and are giving quality products,” says Head Chef Rieko Wada. “Valentine’s is a day of indulgence, and it’s an occasion when men want to impress.”

With her Japanese heritage and classical French training, Chef Wada creates chocolates that are unique, individual masterpieces. Available online, these handcrafted pieces are made from the highest quality ingredients and are artfully crafted for the chocolate connoisseur. Although many people find these chocolates almost too beautiful to eat, they quickly find that the flavor is far superior to that of other chocolates.

Chocolatines' Chocouture Diamond Collections, one of which is being featured in the Official GRAMMY® Gift Bags this year, will still be available this Valentine’s season and are sure to show that special someone that you care. Featuring revolutionary chocolate designs and flavors, the same Contempo Collection will be given to presenters and performers of the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards and will also be available to the public for a limited time only. Perhaps one of the most distinctive pieces of chocolate art is the white chocolate high heel overflowing with decadent pink champagne truffles. Chef Wada is also introducing her newest creations, the His and Hers Collections, this year.

The Hers Collection is custom-made to the desires of a woman. It has three tiers, the first being an exquisite chocolate “cake” assortment with bite-sized tiramisu, cheesecake, opera cake, and banana cream chocolates. This collection also includes chocolate-dipped French marshmallows adorned with orange zest and dried fruits drenched in chocolate.

Also creating waves is the newest design fashioned for men. Valentine’s has always been about pleasing the woman, but with the His Collection, men have something to look forward to receiving as well.

“There’s always been a lack of products in the chocolate market that are created with men’s tastes in mind,” says Chocolatines' Director of Production, Hidemi Wada. “Women frequently want to give something to their husbands or boyfriends, but everything for Valentine’s Day is too feminine. That’s why we created the His Collection.”

The His Collection has three individual bleu cheese, bacon, and scotch chocolate bars, caramel “shots”, and chocolate-covered almonds dusted with cocoa. With this collection, a man can experience the same feeling women have been enjoying on this day. Chocolate has been endorsed for its endorphin-stimulating properties and when paired with the fresh flavors of Chocolatines, these help create a day that will be remembered for years to come.

Special for 2010, Chocolatines will be featuring a red wine from Marilyn Monroe’s estate. The carefully selected grapes add to the complexity of the wine and pairs perfectly with the flavors of chocolates. A bottle of this limited edition wine can be added to either the His or Her Collection and will complete your Valentine’s Day evening.

These gifts and more may be ordered by calling 224.653.2700 or emailing order@chocolatines.com.
