Sept. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- At LaSource, the team believes that amazing things happen when you introduce your body to your mind....and that includes the mood boosting effects of a little treat now and again.  That’s why the resort has teamed up with luxury chocolatier Rococo, to sprinkle a little bit of island spice atop their mouth watering offerings.

Grenada is known for its spices including some with known health benefits, and with the holistic approach LaSource is known for, the resort team selected a few for chocolate week 2010 that treat guests and complement the programme of yoga, tai chi, spa, dive and....doing nada!

LaSource’s “Healthy Spice for Every Vice” chocolates made with Grenada-sourced chocolate by Rococo are sprinkled with the following ingredients:

•   Ginger: cures hangovers, aids tummy flattening, boosts metabolism
•   Nutmeg: stimulates the brain, relieves stress and soothes muscles
•   Cinnamon: helps sugar cravings,  and has skin saving antioxidants
•   Chilli Pepper:  aids weight loss, boosts immunity

The chocolate week 2010 celebratory range will be available for guests to taste in the resort’s boutique during October.  

LaSource is the Caribbean’s leading holistic resort and the only resort in the region to include dives, spa, yoga, tai chi and a master class schedule in the guest experience.    LaSource offers guests a world-class luxury all-inclusive resort and spa experience.  It is perched on the southern tip of Grenada, on secluded Pink Gin Beach. The resort provides exclusive holidays of rejuvenation with the featured Oasis Spa and its 17 treatment rooms. Its 100 guest rooms, among the best in the Caribbean, are set in tropical gardens and surrounded by the sea on three sides. The 4 restaurants and 3 bars serve a great variety of sumptuous creations from an award winning chef and staff.

Seven night all-inclusive holistic stays are available at great prices ranging from approximately £1299 and can be booked through many UK holiday companies including Kuoni, Tropical Sky, Virgin Holidays and Caribtours. UK chocolate week (www.chocolate-week.co.uk) runs from 11-17 October 2010.

About Rococo:
Rococo was founded in 1983 by Chantal Coady. Now more than 25 years later and the author of three books about chocolate, Coady still pushes forward the boundaries of chocolate retailing with 3 shops in London - the flagship store being in Motcomb Street in the heart of Belgravia.

In 2007 a small cocoa farm came up for sale close to the Belmont Estate, offering the perfect opportunity for a joint venture between Rococo and the Grenada Chocolate Company to produce fairly traded "ethical" chocolate. This plot of land, which Rococo call GROCOCO, is now the ‘home farm’ which supplies 100% of its harvest of fine flavoured organic Trinitario cocoa beans to the GCC where they are made into fine chocolate. It was also one of the founding farms that make up The Grenada Organic Cocoa Farmers' Cooperative. Seven years after our first taste of Grenada chocolate, we will be mixing Grococo beans with the Rococo Organic House Blend. From now on, all Rococo’s organic products will include Grococo beans in the recipe.

Rococo Chocolates is also sold online from www.rococochocolates.com and in a wide range of good food and department stores throughout the country.
