Valentine's Day is that one day in the year when you can shower love and chocolates on that significant other, following a tradition that goes back as far as the ancient civilizations of South America.
Since the days of the Aztecs, chocolate has been used as a gift. Even the scientific name for the tree from which chocolate is derived, Theobroma cacao, means "food of the gods" when translated from the original in Greek.
