Be Truffle

Truffles are considered an aphrodisiac because of their scent, which is similar to a male pheromone so adding them to your Valentine’s Day menu could make it one to remember!

Truffles contain protein and amino acids, which may contribute to their aphrodisiac properties, they may also stimulate the production of hormones, increase blood flow to the sex organs and heighten the senses, triggering the body’s arousal response.

Although truffles are usually an expensive choice, with Be Truffle, you can enjoy the wonderful taste of truffles – along side their aphrodisiac qualities, without the huge price tag. Plus, with its extensive range of sauces, pastes, and condiments, you can add a little bit of truffle to any dish!

Honey Heaven

Honey is linked to romance and the very word ‘honeymoon’ stems from the hope for a sweet marriage while some say honey’s romantic reputation comes from an ancient custom in which newly married couples drank mead, a fermented beverage made with honey, until the first moon of their new union.   The world’s first doctor, Hippocrates prescribed honey for sexual vigour and according to an old French wives’ tale, a bee sting was like being given a shot of pure aphrodisiac. There is scientific evidence too – honeycontains boron, which may regulate hormone levels, and nitric oxide, which is released in the blood during arousal.    

Honey Heaven, a London based business,  have lots of gift set ideas but include:

HoneyHarmony Gift Set £18.00
