The discovery of Chocolate
In 1492, Mery came to America with Cristobal Colon. She stayed to study the culture of the continent inhabitants. They taught her their typical food, their dances and their ways of living.
One day, while she was walking through the jungle, something fell from a tree. It looked like a coconut. When she arrived the village, she opened the strange fruit and discovered a sweet substance inside.
She dedicated her studies to research what she called »Chocolate». She melted it mixing it with different flavors, herbs and spices. It was so great that when she returned to Spain, she took it her astonishment to continue researching.
She dedicated all her time to produce different products and marketing them all the world, becoming the most valued sweet in the world.

The fancy mousse
In a cozy café in El Ganso, Ramón meticulously crafted her famous chocolate mousse. It was so exquisite that customers lined up just to taste it. But among all the desserts, the mousse had a secret: it was alive!!
The mousse, named Pedro, longed to see the world beyond the counter.
One night, while the cafe was closed, Pedro decided to venture out. Stealthily he slipped out of his mold and through the window he went.
Pedro explored the streets of El Ganso in awe, marveling at the darkness and the aromas of the town. However, his journey soon turned perilous when a wolf began to chase him. Pedro hid in a dark alley, trembling with fear.
Luckily, a young pastry chef named Ramiro happened to pass by the alley and heard Pedro’s whispers. With tenderness, he scooped him up and brought him back to the café. Fascinated by his story, Ramiro decided to help Pedro fulfill his dream of seeing the world.
Together, they traveled through the town, visiting the taverns, enjoying the landscapes and meeting new people. Pedro discovered the field of sunflowers, the Indi camp and Ramiro’s house. They encountered the grandmothers of the town and the animals who lived within it.
But the more they traveled, the more Pedro missed his home in the café. Despite all the wonders he had seen, his place was alongside Ramón and his delicious creations. With a heart full of gratitude, Pedro returned to the café, where he was welcomed with joy.
From that day on, Pedro lived happily in the café, sharing his adventures with the other desserts. Although he cherished his memories of travel, he knew that there was no place like home. And so, the living mousse found his true destiny among the cozy walls of a café in El Ganso.

Broken crumbled love
Once upon a time there was a chocolate cookie called Bombi, which was in the window of a bakery, in a small town Called «El Hoyuelo».
One day he noticed another beautiful cookie called Bell, which was in the window of the pastry shop across the street.
Bambi realized that he had fallen in love with Bella but it was an impossible love since they could never be together since they belonged to different worlds.
One day they held a charity event for all the pastries in the surrounding towns and Bambi and Bella were finally able to meet.
They had the opportunity to dance together and have a good time, which they would always remember.
But unfortunately, when they gave each other the last hug before finishing the act, they crumbled little by little until only crumbs.
And this is how this tragic story of love at first sight, but impossible, ends.

The Chocolate curve
When my parents were young (they told me), there was a truck going down from La Cabrera to Torrelaguna. It was loaded with chocolate!
Those curves were so dangerous and the trucks couldn´t go down.
But the truck went there and on the most dangerous curve it overturned.
The two towns found it out and people went there with boxes to collect chocolate. And from that day on, it was called the chocolate curve.
Then I started to think and create my own surprise chocolate bonbons. Each bonbon had its own surprise flavour.
