Dubai chocolate: The sweet trend that conquers Styria

The fascination for the so-called "Dubai chocolate" has increased significantly in recent months and is attracting more and more chocolate lovers. Videos are shared on social media that show people who stand in line for hours to get a piece of this delicate creation. Styria in particular shows interest in this global food trend, which comes from the Middle East and is now also gaining popularity in Austria.

The chocolate that comes with a filling of pistachio cream and dough-like threads that reminds of the traditional Arab dessert Knafeh is produced by Sarah Hamouda, the owner of "Fix Dessert Chocolatier" in Dubai. This dessert is one of the most famous desserts in the Middle East and exerts a special charm on sweet tooth.

The well -known Styrian chocolate manufacturer Zotter also has different variations with pistachio filling in the range.

Bettina Eckhard, owner of the Eckhards Confiserie, confirms the high demand. "We make everything ourselves, which is why we cannot offer the same quantities as large chains. Nevertheless, the chocolate is very popular," she reports. In addition, the SPAR supermarket chain has also included the "Dubai chocolate" in its offer, and the price for this is around 20 euros.
