Know the secret of Dove chocolate? That poignant story.
In the spring of 1919, the royal family of Luxembourg welcomed Princess Charlotte to the throne, and at the same time she married Prince Felix, a descendant of the Bourbon family. As a chef's helper in the royal back kitchen could be busy, organizing cupboards and chopsticks all day long, his hands split open several times, and while he was scrubbing the wounds with salt water, a girl came up to him and said, "This must hurt a lot," he said. This girl was Princess Bazaar, who would later influence Leon I. And so the two young people met. Leon, who had never had anyone to love him, met the kind Basha. Because Basha was only a distant relative of Prince Felix, her status in the royal family was very low, and the rare delicacy, ice cream, was not her turn to taste. So Leon sneaked into the kitchen every night, for Basha to do ice cream to eat, the two always taste while talking about the past, Basha also taught Leon English. The sweetness of their first love affair lingered in their hearts. However, in that era of honor and inferiority, due to the status and situation of the special, neither of them said the heart of love, just quietly buried this feeling in the bottom of the heart.

In the early 20th century, in order to make Luxembourg's position in the whole of Europe strong, Luxembourg and Belgium entered into a covenant, in order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, the royal marriage became the best method, and the person who was chosen was Princess Basha. For several days Leon did not see Princess Bazaar, he was anxious. Finally after a month Bazaar appeared at the table, however he had lost a large amount of weight and his whole body looked haggard. When Leon was preparing the pastries, he wrote the letters "DOVE" on Basha's ice cream with hot chocolate, which is the abbreviation of "DOYOULOVEME". He was sure that Basha would be able to read his mind, but Basha was dumbfounded for a long time until the hot chocolate melted. A few days later Basha got married. A year later, Leon, who could not endure the torture of lovesickness, left the royal kitchen and quietly came to a fine restaurant in the United States with a hidden pain in his heart. The owner of the restaurant appreciated him so much that he promised his daughter to Leon. The passage of time, the peace of his family, the smoothness of his career, and the birth of his son have not been able to heal the deep wounds in Leon's heart. His thoughts did not escape his wife's eyes, and his anger exploded and he left in a rage.

Leon remained single with his son, running his candy store, and one day in 1946, Leon's memory was shattered when he saw his son chasing an ice cream truck. Leon has not made ice cream since Basha left. This time Leon decides to continue the research he didn't finish for Basha in the past.

After months of research and development, a creamy, chocolate-covered ice cream with four letters was created. My son innocently asked Leon what "DOVE" meant. Leon gently said it was the name of the ice cream. Dove's ice cream was well received upon launch. At this time, Leon received a letter from Luxembourg, written by a companion who worked in the royal kitchen, in which Leon learned that Princess Bazaar had sent people around to inquire about him, hoping that he could visit her, but learned that he had gone to the United States. Because of the impact of the Second World War, the letter came to Leon's hands has been a whole year and three days late. Leon finally meets Princess Basha after a long and arduous journey. Basha and Leon at this time have been old, Basha weakly lying on the bed, once clear waves of eyes become gray. Leon flung himself in front of her bed, tears that could not be suppressed dripped down on the back of her pale hand. Basha reached out and gently stroked Leon's hair, calling Leon's name in a nearly inaudible voice. Basha recalled being in Luxembourg at the time and loving Leon so much that she had refused the union with a hunger strike and he had been under guard for a month, knowing full well that there was absolutely no way he could escape the union, not to mention that Leon hadn't said he loved her, much less made any promises. In those days it was a great price for a woman to break with her entire family. In the end he had to give in to fate,, but only on the condition that he could go back to Luxembourg for another afternoon tea, because he wanted to say a final goodbye to Léon there, who had eaten the chocolate ice cream he had given her, and seen those melted letters. Upon hearing this, Léon sobbed uncontrollably, and the past misunderstandings were finally answered. But it was too late; three days later, Basha passed away. Leon heard from the servants that Basha was depressed all day long after she married him, which led to his illness, and when he learned that Leon had left Luxembourg and had gotten married in the United States, he fell ill. Leon was overwhelmed with grief, and if the hot chocolate on the ice cream hadn't melted, and if Basha had understood him, then he would have changed his mind and run away with him.

If that chocolate had been fixed, those words wouldn't have melted and he wouldn't have lost his last chance. Leon decided to create a solid chocolate that would last longer. After painstaking research and development, mellow and delicious Dove chocolate was finally developed, each piece of chocolate is firmly engraved with "DOVE", Leon to commemorate his and Basha missed this love, he was bitter but sweet, sad and moving, as the flavor of Dove. Nowadays, there are dozens of flavors of Dove chocolates, and every kind of love can be interpreted and sent in this chocolate kingdom. More and more people around the world are falling in love with Dove, which was born out of love and evolved from ice cream. When lovers send Dove, it means to send the whispered question of love "DOYOULOVEME?" That is also the founder of the world to remind lovers, if you love her (him), even if the love of the people know, and remember the deep love, do not give up!
