Today at INT Logistics UK we’re celebrating chocolate in all its glory, a sweet indulgence that we never take for granted!
The numbers
Daily we ship around 250 tonnes of chocolate. That makes a whopping average of 91,250 per year! The shipping of chocolate is no easy business – something as precious as silky-smooth chocolate requires specifically controlled temperatures (and a great deal of restraint on our part!)
Luckily for our chocolate lovers out there, we know the perfect temperature for transporting chocolate is +15 degrees – no less, no more! Our single and dual temperature-controlled trailers have the ability to range from plus and minus thirty degrees centigrade, so we can ensure your favourite bar of choc remains in perfect condition throughout transit.
We are trusted to deliver chocolate by a number of international companies including Mondelez and Ferrero.
The history of chocolate
Chocolate has a history of an estimated 4,000 years – and it hasn’t always been just a naughty-but-so-nice treat. In the past, it’s been used for the likes of rituals, currency and even medicine! In fact, modern research has proven chocolate to have several health benefits, so no need to feel guilty next time you give in to those sweet cravings.
Chocolate is good for you!
Ever wondered why eating chocolate makes you feel so good? That’s because it causes the brain to release phenylethylamine, the same chemical that makes you feel romantic love!
Chocolate is also thought to be good for the memory, the heart and circulation. It can even help you to lose weight – eating a square of dark chocolate is great for satisfying hunger.
We can’t see a reason why not to eat chocolate
If we go to such lengths to transport chocolate all around Europe, then we really hope you enjoy it!
So that leaves our final question for you: which chocolate will you choose to celebrate today with?
