The title, Blood and Chocolate, is a metaphor for Vivian's predicament in the film and novel. She must remain loyal to her family heritage, her family "blood", and resist the temptation of a normal human relationship with Aidan, the "chocolate". Her cover up for her true lineage is as a chocolatier who serves gourmet desserts in a small shop while her secret identity is as a werewolf with loyalty to her bloodline, her human identity being chocolate and her secret identity being blood.
Agnes Bruckner is the only American actor in a cast otherwise entirely made up of European actors.
All works, covers and illustrations attributed to Aiden belong in real life to the Spanish graphic artist Victoria Francés.
As explained by Aiden on his date with Vivian, who is still unaware of her heritage during the scene, the species of werewolf that appears to be present in the film are not the traditional werewolf but a loup-garou. They do not require a full moon for a metamorphosis, they can transition at will to their alternate form. They are vulnerable to not only silver but fire as well. They cannot transfer a werewolf curse through bites or scratches; you have to be born with your powers; they are not obtained.
All of the scenes involving wolves, were shot on sets designed and created by Production Designer Kevin Phipps. These include all of the Forest, Creek and River settings, the Interior of the Chapel, the Hotel Bedroom and Absinthe Factory. These sets were all constructed on the sound stages at Media Pro studios in Bucharest, Romania.
"[from trailer] Vivian: What's the city taught you? Aiden: That the werewolf stories have gotten it all wrong. In the loup garoux legend, they're not cursed, their blessed. Like the moon turning them into wolves, that's all how it's twisted later. The loup garoux can change whenever they want. It's- it's, uh... mind over matter. Transcendence. You know, they believe they will change, and in that moment they do. Can you imagine that? From a man to a wolf. Vivian: Sounds beautiful. Aiden: It is. Uh, supposedly, you could kill them with silver, but also with fire. Vivian: Really. Aiden: Yeah. A- and you couldn't become one, you know? Be bitten or whatever. You're either born a loup garoux or you're not. Vivian: Oh. Aiden: And in the stories, they say that if you harm a loup garoux, if they bleed, that they show you just a glimpse of what they really are. It's all in the eyes, apparently."
"Vivian: What we are not is what we are taught to fear."
