Lindt & Sprüngli has expanded its Dubai Style Chocolate range, adding praline gift boxes and individual bar options to the selection, which kicked off with the successful Dubai Style Chocolate block launch in May. The range will be available at Lindt Chocolate shops across Australia for a limited time only.
Originally created in 2021 by Sarah Hamouda of FIX Dessert Chocolatier, Dubai chocolate has since gained viral fame. The Lindt master chocolatiers got to work creating a Lindt recipe of the popular flavour trend, and have since made the popular flavour available in more formats for Australians to try.
Lindt master chocolatier, Thomas Schnetzler, said the company’s team is always attuned to the latest developments in the chocolate world, continuously experimenting with flavour combinations and craft innovative creations.
“At Lindt, we’ve long embraced pistachio as a flavour, pairing its rich, nutty warmth with our signature chocolate. But when we saw the popularity of this unique combination of soft filling and crispy texture, we saw an opportunity to craft our own Lindt version,” said Schnetzler.
“Interestingly, it was some of our apprentices in the German factory who first brought the idea to management, and soon, the first delicious samples were created.
“What sets Lindt’s Dubai Style chocolate apart is, of course, the unmistakable quality of our chocolate. To achieve that deep, nutty flavour, we use a generous 45 per cent pistachio paste in the filling, complemented by caramelized pistachio pieces and toasted Kadayif. When combined with our signature Lindt chocolate, the result is a truly magical taste experience,” he told Food & Drink Business.
The two new variations have launched in Lindt Chocolate shops across Australia and online at lindt.com.au – with the Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate box of 9 pralines retailing for $26.00, and the Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate bar for $8.00.
