Dove chocolate has a poignant love story:
First love is as sweet as ice cream
"Dove, for the poignant love" from the May 2010 issue of the Reader The story is most likely fabricated, and there is no such story on the official website of Dove.
In the spring of 1919, the royal family of Luxembourg welcomed Princess Charlotte to the throne, and at the same time married Prince Felix, a descendant of the Bourbon family. The whole royal family of Luxembourg was abuzz with excitement at the double wedding. The royal chefs work all night to welcome the guests, and 18-year-old Leo Stephanos, a young boy, is the only one who has ever been able to cook for the royal family. Leo Stefanos, 18, has been working in the kitchen for four years.
Leo has been so busy these past few days organizing cupboards and chopsticks that he's cut his hands open several times, and when he has a few minutes to spare, he sits in the doorway and scrubs his wounds with a cloth soaked in water. This is too unhygienic, the wounds are prone to infection and inflammation." A thin voice flew lightly into Leon's ears, he looked up and saw a girl standing in the sunlight. She had pale yellow, sparse hair and smiling eyes that curved upwards into a curved moon. Leon had never seen her before and guessed that it might be a servant Prince Felix had brought with him. Instead, the girl sat herself down beside him." It must hurt to have to scrub it with a potion like that, right?" She stared at Leon's finger and frowned slightly in pain. Just when Leon didn't know how to answer her, a maid ran in, "Princess Basha, hurry up, Madame is looking for you!" The girl turned around and smiled at Leon, hurriedly running after the maid. It turned out that she was the princess! In this royal family, other than the relatives who brought him in, no one had ever cared about him, let alone a princess. Her few humble greetings gave him a warm feeling.
After that, Leon learned from talking to the maids that 15-year-old Bazaar, a distant relative of the Bourbons, had been brought in by Prince Felix because she had no one to turn to. The maids often teased her about her thinning hair and the small freckles on her face. Leon listened absentmindedly while busy with the work in his hands, and when he turned his head, he suddenly noticed a head in the kitchen doorway looking around, and when the other's eyes met his, he waved his hand happily at him. It was none other than Princess Basha. She quickly shoved a cloth bag at Caenon and scrambled away. Leon opened it and saw that inside was actually a healing ointment. That night, as Leon lay on his bed, the look of Basha frowning because of her heartache always came to his mind, what an understanding girl, his heart was warm and sweet at the same time.
A few days later, a count celebrated his birthday and had to hold a small banquet in the palace. The banquet featured egg roll ice cream, which was just popular at the time, and it became the hottest dessert among the young princes and princesses. In fact, Basha also loved ice cream, but this kind of food is still a rare thing naturally not her turn. So Leon began to think of making ice cream for her. That night, Leon snuck into the kitchen. In no time at all, an orange-flavored ice cream was born under his hands. When Leon quietly knocked on the door of Basha's remote and humble room, Basha was filled with surprise when she saw the beautiful gift he held in his hands. She savored the sweet and creamy ice cream, mesmerized, as if she were caught up in some fond memory. She then whispered to Leon that her mother was an imaginative woman who used to make all kinds of flavors of ice cream for her when she was alive. It dawned on Leon that the creamy flavor in the ice cream had memories and thoughts of Basha's mother. In addition, since her mother was also British, Basha was also fluent in English, and she liked to teach Leon simple English, as if it could bring back memories of her mother.
From then on, Leon used to quietly make various flavors of ice cream for Basha, and many a starry night, they savored the delicious ice cream while the sweetness of their first love affair surrounded their hearts. However, in the era of honor and inferiority, due to the status and situation of the disparity, none of them said the heart of love, just quietly buried this feeling in the bottom of the heart.
Sad hot chocolate is hard to stay in love
Three years have passed, and Basha has grown from a weak girl into a beautiful big girl, full of juice as fresh and sweet breath. Leon's ice cream skills have also been put into play, became the court dessert chef's assistant. Once, Basha said on a whim, "Leon, do you think it would be more delicious if we could add chocolate to the ice cream?" Basha's wish was an incomparable motivation for Leon. He had a new goal: chocolate ice cream. How could he get the bitter yet flavorful chocolate into the ice cream? Just as he was struggling to figure it out, a piece of news blew at him like an ill wind.
Early in the 20th century, tiny Luxembourg was in an awkward position in a part of Europe where the abolition of royal prerogatives had been proposed from time to time. In an effort to find a backer and an ally, in 1921 Luxembourg and neighboring Belgium decided on a royal marriage in order to solidify relations between the two countries. And the person chosen for the union happened to be Princess Bazaar. Upon hearing this breaking news, Leon, who was buried in making chocolate ice cream, was so cold that the coffee cup in his hand fell to the floor and shattered. He felt his heart convulsing violently.
For three days in a row, Princess Basha did not show up at the afternoon table. Leon's heart raced, hoping that this Wednesday night would come early, for that was the day they had agreed to work on ice cream together. But on this night, Basha missed her appointment and didn't show up until the ice cream on Leon's plate was completely melted. Leon felt a tearing pain in his heart.
It was a month later when Basha appeared in Leon's sight. That afternoon, he unexpectedly saw Basha at the dining table. She had lost a bunch of weight and her whole body looked much more haggard. Just the moment she saw Leon, two hot rays of light burst out from her eyes, and that light pierced Leon's heart like a sword. He wanted to rush over, grab Basha's hand and ask her, hoping that she would tell him that everything was a lie and that she would never marry because he was the one she truly loved. But he was a servant and she was a high and mighty princess, Leon couldn't confirm his love, but he held on to his last ray of hope, wondering if Basha would love him.
This day, Leon to the princess and the princes prepared dessert is still ice cream, due to the real chocolate ice cream has not yet been developed, he was in a hurry, in Basha's share of the ice cream directly with the chocolate wrote a few English letters "DOVE", is DO YOU LOVE ME abbreviation. He believed that if Basha's heart was in the right place, she would be able to read his heart. This was his last chance. Leon stared nervously at Basha, watching as the ice cream with the letters on it turned to her. But until the hot chocolate on top melted, Basha didn't look closely at the letters, she just fumed for a long time, then tearfully ate the last ice cream he'd ever made for her, and broke his heart completely.
A few days later, Basha got married, and Leon sat high on a hill and watched sadly as the train carrying Basha drove off into the distance. The ice cream in his hand melted and his beloved girl was far away, Leon shed tears of sadness. For a long time since Basha left, Leon was silent. He often habitually came to the kitchen and sat on the bench where he once sat with Basha, looking at the dinner plates where they had shared ice cream together, memories eroded his brain, making it even sadder and lonelier. Naiang's heart ached, he couldn't stay here any longer, he decided to leave, forgetting Basha once and for all, and start a new life of his own.
The words of hurt feelings are engraved on every piece of chocolate
The year after Basha got married, Leon left Luxembourg and came to the United States, where he found a job in a high-class restaurant. He was so down-to-earth and honest that his boss appreciated him so much that he betrothed his daughter to him. A few years later Leon moved with the owner's family to Chicago, where he became a confectioner. However, the passage of time, the stability of his family, his smooth career, and the birth of his son did not heal the wounds in Leon's heart. Basha's slightly furrowed brow remained an everlasting mark on his heart. His hidden thoughts did not escape his wife's eyes. After living together for more than ten years, his wife felt more and more that there was always another woman in Leon's heart. Finally, one day, her anger exploded. She ranted that she didn't need a marriage of three, and then left sadly.
Leon remained single with his son and ran his fruit store, and one day in 1946 Leon saw his son chasing an ice cream truck. When he stopped his son, he disappointedly told him that the truck had the best chocolate ice cream. The door to Leon's tightly closed heart was slammed open. He hadn't made ice cream once since Basha had left. The last thing Basha wanted was a chocolate ice cream, and he hadn't been able to grant her wish. Leon decided to continue the research he hadn't completed for Basha in the past.
After months of research and development, a creamy, buttery ice cream was created that was covered in rich chocolate and engraved with four letters of the alphabet. His son innocently asked Leon what the letters "DOVE" on the ice cream meant. Leon replied softly to his son that it was the name of the ice cream. After that, he was speechless for a long time. He remembered the last time Basha ate ice cream, and the hot chocolate was engraved with these letters, but she turned a blind eye to it. Dove ice cream was well received by the public when it was introduced, and many people fell in love with its delicate texture that seemed to be wrapped in tenderness.
Just then, Leon received an unexpected letter from Luxembourg. It had been more than 20 years since he had left Luxembourg. When he opened the letter, it was from a partner who used to work in the kitchen. From the letter, Leon learned that Princess Basha had sent someone back to her country to ask around for news of him, hoping that he could go to see her, but learned that he went to the United States. Due to the effects of World War II, Leon was a year and three days late in getting the letter. What happened to Basha? Was she okay? Leon's heart seems to go back to that year, still so urgent and eager.
After all the hard work, Leon finally came to Belgium, Basha is not in the palace, but live in the suburbs of a dilapidated villa, greeted his maid look sad, which makes Leon feel unsettled. Basha, like Leon, is also old, she lies weakly on the bed, once as clear as the waves of the eyes have now turned gray. Leon flung himself at her bedside, letting tears fall low on Basha's pale face. Basha reached out and gently stroked Leon's hair, calling out Leon's name in an almost inaudible voice. Then with difficulty she told the whole story.
It turned out that when she was in Luxembourg, Basha was also deeply in love with Caen, and had refused the union by going on a hunger strike, but was sent to the outside of the palace to be closely guarded for a month, knowing that there was absolutely no way that she could escape the union, not to mention that Caen had never said that he loved her, much less made any promises. In those days, it was a heavy price for a woman to break with an entire family, and she had nowhere else to go. In the end, she had to give in to fate. But only on the condition that she would like to leave Luxembourg and return to the palace once for afternoon tea, as she wished to say her final goodbye to Léon there. She ate the chocolate ice cream he gave her, but didn't see the melted letters.
Hearing this, Leon sobbed as the past misunderstandings were finally answered. But it was too late, and three days later, Basha left the world. Leon heard the servants say that Basha had been depressed all day since she married, leading to illness, and that she had sent someone back to look for Leon, and when she learned that he had left Luxembourg and gotten married in the United States, she fell gravely ill.
Leon was very sad, if the hot chocolate on that ice cream hadn't melted that year, and if Basha had understood his heart, then would she have changed her mind and run away with him? He felt sure it would! He began to regret his stupidity and negligence, why did he carve the words on top of the ice cream with hot chocolate? If the chocolate had been solid, those words wouldn't have melted and he wouldn't have lost his last chance. Leon was determined to create a solid chocolate that would last longer.
