Is dark chocolate healthy? It goes without saying that at Montezuma’s we love chocolate, but sadly this may not be the healthiest obsession in the world.

Why is World Chocolate Day in July? World Chocolate day is obviously one of our favourite days of the year, as it celebrates the introduction of chocolate to Europe back in July 1550.

So once we were in a position to choose how we designed our own packaging, we knew that we wanted it to be better. If the chocolate could be great, why not the pack it came in? And that’s exactly the task we set ourselves.
