July 2007 - “We are confident that our retail partners will find a number of great options in the products we are introducing, especially with the attention being paid to the health benefits of dark chocolate,” said Johan DeGreef, president of Saxon. “We wanted to respond to consumer and retailer demand by offering more and better tasting ways for people to benefit from the healthful properties of dark chocolate".
Health Benefits: Dark Chocolate: Recent studies suggest that the high concentrations of cocoa found in dark chocolate are beneficial in promoting a healthy heart and body. The chocolate contains the antioxidant, flavonoids. Antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease. Flavonoids help to lower blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide, and to balance certain hormones. Research has shown that consuming fifty grams of dark chocolate per day can add iron, potassium, and calcium to the diet.
Popular for their unique flavors and exceptional health benefits, single origin chocolates are featured in the Dark Collection with the 72% Venezuela Chocolate Bar (MSRP $6.95), and the 70% Santo Domingo Chocolate Bar (MSRP $6.95), as well as the Dark Bark Box – 70% Dark Hazelnut Cherry Bark (MSRP $17.95).
