Here at Friars of Keswick, nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of the Lake District, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. For decades, we've been dedicated to crafting exquisite chocolates that delight the senses and transport our customers to new realms of flavour. Today, we are thrilled to announce a ground-breaking new addition to our beloved collection, one that not only embraces the rich tapestry of Middle Eastern culinary traditions but also champions the growing demand for plant-based indulgence:
Our new Vegan Dubai Chocolate Bar.
This isn't just another chocolate bar; it's a testament to our commitment to inclusivity, sustainability, and above all, unforgettable flavour. Inspired by the opulent and aromatic essence of Dubai, this vegan creation promises a decadent journey for the palate, designed to captivate both long-time chocolate aficionados and those exploring the exciting world of vegan confectionery.
The genesis of the Vegan Dubai Chocolate Bar began with a clear vision:
to capture the vibrancy and luxuriousness of Middle Eastern desserts in a completely plant-based format. We wanted to move beyond simple dairy-free alternatives and create something truly exceptional, a bar that stands proudly on its own merit for its unique taste profile and exquisite craftsmanship. Our inspiration stemmed from the rich tradition of ingredients found across the Middle East – the natural sweetness of dates, the fragrant warmth of spices, and the satisfying crunch of nuts, all elegantly woven into a luxurious chocolate experience.
Crafting a vegan chocolate bar that lives up to our high standards was a journey of meticulous research and passionate experimentation. We explored numerous plant-based alternatives to traditional dairy, ultimately selecting a unique combination that delivers the creamy mouthfeel and smooth texture our customers expect from a Friars of Keswick chocolate. This foundation is crucial, providing the perfect canvas for the intricate array of Middle Eastern inspired flavours.
The star of this new bar is undoubtedly the infusion of authentic Middle Eastern elements. These are complemented by a carefully balanced blend of ingredients and other warming notes that evoke thoughts of the bustling souks and fragrant tea houses of Dubai. To add textural complexity and a delightful crunch, we've incorporated roasted pistachios, a beloved nut in Middle Eastern cuisine, which not only provide a satisfying bite but also a subtle, earthy counterpoint to the sweetness.
Our chocolatiers have worked tirelessly to ensure that each ingredient contributes harmoniously to the overall experience. The result is a bar that offers layers of flavour: an initial burst of rich, dark vegan chocolate, followed by the comforting sweetness of our superb pistachio ganache filling and our crusting of Kadayif pastry, designed to transport you with every bite.
We understand that the vegan market is increasingly sophisticated, with consumers seeking not just absence of animal products, but an unparalleled taste experience. This is where our Vegan Dubai Chocolate Bar truly shines. We’ve been inspired by the pioneering work of other brands in the vegan space, particularly those who, like us, strive for excellence in their plant-based offerings. In fact, when we considered the benchmark for premium vegan chocolate with a global influence, a name that often came up in our discussions was Kakoa vegan Dubai chocolate. Their commitment to quality and innovative flavours resonated with our own aspirations for this new product. Our aim was to create a bar that stands shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world, offering a distinctive Friars of Keswick take on this exciting flavour profile.
The launch of our Vegan Dubai Chocolate Bar signifies more than just an expansion of our product line; it represents our evolving commitment to meet the diverse needs of our customers while staying true to our core values of quality and innovation. It’s a bar that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of dietary preference, offering a taste of luxury that is both ethical and utterly delicious.
Whether you're a long-standing fan of Friars of Keswick, a devoted vegan chocolate enthusiast, or simply curious to explore new and exotic flavours, our new Vegan Dubai Chocolate Bar is an experience not to be missed. Keep an eye on our shelves and website for its official launch very soon.
