García Nevett’s Take on the Dubai Chocolate Bar
At García Nevett, we wanted to honor the essence of the viral Dubai Chocolate Bar while infusing it with our signature approach: using top-tier Venezuelan chocolate and expert craftsmanship. Instead of simply replicating the original, we created a more refined and well-balanced version that highlights both luxury and flavor.
Our Dubai-inspired chocolate bar features three key components that elevate the experience:
1. 60% Venezuelan Chocolate
We chose to use 60% premium Venezuelan chocolate as the base of our Dubai Chocolate Bar. Venezuelan cacao is renowned for its exceptional quality and complex flavor profile, with deep cocoa notes, hints of fruit, and a velvety smooth texture. Unlike overly sweet commercial chocolates, our high-cacao blend ensures a rich but balanced taste, allowing the other ingredients to shine without overpowering the palate.
2. Real Pistachio Praliné
Pistachios are a staple in Middle Eastern desserts, prized for their nutty, slightly sweet flavor. Instead of just using crushed pistachios, we took it a step further by incorporating real pistachio praliné—a creamy, caramelized blend of pistachios and sugar that adds depth and a luscious, buttery texture to the chocolate bar. This element enhances the overall indulgence, making each bite a luxurious experience.
3. Crispy Kadaifi (Shredded Phyllo Dough)
To introduce an element of crunch and contrast, we added kadaifi, a traditional shredded phyllo dough used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean pastries. Kadaifi brings an unexpected yet delightful crispiness to the chocolate bar, complementing the smooth praliné and the rich Venezuelan chocolate. This combination of textures makes our version of the Dubai Chocolate Bar even more irresistible.
The viral success of the original Dubai Chocolate Bar proved that high-quality, indulgent treats with a unique cultural connection can capture the world’s attention. At García Nevett, we are proud to have created a version that not only honors the essence of the original but also elevates it with superior ingredients and expert craftsmanship.
For those lucky enough to get their hands on our limited-edition Dubai Chocolate Bar, we hope it was an unforgettable experience. And for those eagerly awaiting our next special release—stay tuned. The world of luxurious, handcrafted chocolate experiences is just getting started.
