DOVE on Dove chocolate means do you love me, but why is it also called dove?
Because dove itself means pigeon, why is Dove chocolate called Dove?
The English name DOVE of Dove Chocolate is about the love story between a princess and a pastry chef. The pastry chef wrote his feelings on the chocolate. Unfortunately, the chocolate melted when it was delivered to the princess. After that, the pastry chef invented
A chocolate that doesn’t melt very well.
Does Dove Chocolate’s DOVE (meaning do you love me) have any special meaning?
In the spring of 1919, the Luxembourg royal family welcomed Princess Charlotte to inherit the throne, and she also married Prince Felix, a descendant of the Bourbon family.
As a royal chef, a chef was very busy. He spent all day arranging cupboards and chopsticks, and his hands were cut several times. When he was scrubbing the wounds with salt water, a girl came over and said to him,
This must hurt, right?
This girl was Princess Bazaar who later influenced Leon I.
This is how the two young people met.
Leon, who has never been loved by anyone, meets the kind-hearted Bazaar.
Because Bazaar is only a distant relative of Prince Felix, her status in the royal family is very low, and it is not her turn to taste the rare delicacy - ice cream.
So Leon sneaked into the kitchen every night to make ice cream for Basha. The two of them always tasted it while talking about the past. Bazaar also taught Leon English.
The sweetness of first love lingered in their hearts.
However, in that conservative era where superiority and inferiority were clearly defined, due to their special status and situation, none of them expressed their love, but just buried this feeling silently in their hearts.
At the beginning of the 20th century, in order to strengthen Luxembourg's position throughout Europe, Luxembourg and Belgium entered into an alliance. In order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, royal marriage became the best way, and the chosen one was Princess Bazaar.
Leon didn't see Princess Bazaar for several days, and he was very anxious.
Basha finally appeared at the dinner table a month later. However, he had lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard.
When Leon was preparing pastries, he wrote several English letters "DOVE", which is the abbreviation of "DOYOULOVEME", on Bazaar's ice cream with hot chocolate.
He believed that Basha would be able to guess what he was thinking, but Basha was in a daze for a long time until the hot chocolate melted.
A few days later Basha got married.
A year later, Leon, who could not bear the torment of lovesickness, left the royal chef and quietly came to a high-end restaurant in the United States with the pain in his heart.
The boss here appreciated him very much and betrothed his daughter to Leon.
The passage of time, family peace and career stability, and the birth of his son failed to heal the trauma deep in Leon's heart.
His thoughts could not escape his wife's eyes, his anger broke out, and he left angrily.
Since then, Leon has been single with his son and running his candy shop.
One day in 1946, Leon saw his son chasing an ice cream truck, and his memories were immediately knocked away.
Since Bazaar left, Leon has never made ice cream again.
This time Leon decided to continue the research he had not completed for Bazaar in the past.
Category search of journal articles, all in the journal library. After several months of careful development, an ice cream rich in cream and wrapped in pure chocolate came out, with four letters engraved on it.
The son innocently asked Leon what "DOVE" meant.
Leon said softly that this was the name of the ice cream.
Dove's ice cream was well received as soon as it was launched.
At this time, Leon received a letter from Luxembourg. The letter was written to him by a partner who also worked in the royal kitchen. In the letter, Leon learned that Princess Bazaar had sent people everywhere to inquire about him, hoping that
He was able to visit her, but was told that he had gone to the United States.
Due to the impact of World War II, the letter came to Leon a full year and three days late.
Leon went through all kinds of hardships and finally met Princess Bazaar.
Basha and Leon were both old at this time. Basha lay weakly on the bed, and his once clear eyes became gray.
Leon threw himself in front of her bed, tears falling uncontrollably on the back of her pale hands.
Basha reached out her hand and gently stroked Leon's hair, calling Leon's name in an almost inaudible voice.
Bazaar recalled that she was in Luxembourg at that time. She loved Léon so much that she refused to marry him with a hunger strike. He was detained for a month. He knew that he would never escape the fate of marriage, not to mention Léon never said he loved her, let alone
Any commitment.
In that era, a woman had to pay a heavy price to break up with the entire family.
In the end, he could only compromise with fate, but on the condition that he could go back to Luxembourg for another afternoon tea, because he wanted to say his final farewell to Leon there. He ate the chocolate ice cream he gave her and saw the melted ice cream.
letter.
Hearing this, Leon burst into tears, and the past misunderstanding finally had an answer.
But it was too late. Three days later, Basha passed away.
Leon heard from the servant that Bazaar had been depressed all day long after she got married, which made him sick. After learning that Leon had left Luxembourg and got married in the United States, he fell ill.
Leon was extremely sad. If the hot chocolate on the ice cream had not melted, and if Bazaar understood his feelings, then he would definitely change his mind and elope with him.
