Dubai Chocolate

Le Chocolat des Îles

Both the dark chocolate and the filling are made in-house. Inside: 50% pistachios, pure ghee and roasted kataifi — not purchased bulk pistachio cream. Recognisably Dubai chocolate. Unmistakably LCDI.

The filling is the difference

Made from the inside out.

Many Dubai-style bars begin with a purchased pistachio cream. Ours does not. We make our own filling in-house, so we control the ingredients, the pistachio percentage, the texture and the provenance of what goes inside.

The chocolate

The chocolate, made by us from the bean

We spent years developing our dark chocolate: organic cacao and organic cane sugar, roasted, refined and conched in our own factory. Nothing bought in as coating, nothing arriving already made.

The filling

The filling, made by us with 50% pistachios

Rather than rely on a bulk cream whose composition and provenance would be outside our control, we make the filling ourselves. Pure ghee brings richness and a gentle savoury warmth; fine strands of kataifi are roasted to remain crisp inside the cream.

The bite

Three things, in this order

Everything about the bar is arranged around what happens in the four seconds after you break it.

First

The clean crack

A short, thick square of dark chocolate snaps rather than bends. The cocoa arrives before the sweetness does, and sets the terms for everything after it.

Then

The centre opens

Dense and creamy, made with 50% pistachios. The pure ghee adds roundness and a gentle savoury warmth, and lengthens the flavour well past the point where a sugar-led filling would have finished.

Last

The dry crunch

Roasted kataifi, still audibly crisp. The pistachio stays the point of the bar rather than merely its colour, and the finish is nutty instead of sweet.

That contrast is our interpretation of luxury: not excess for its own sake, but each element doing a distinct job.

How it is made

We make both the chocolate and the filling

Making both defining parts ourselves is slower and costs more. It also lets us know what is actually in the bar, and gives us control over its flavour, texture and finish from the first ingredient to the final wrapper.

Selection

Blind cooperative tastings before purchase, across five working origins.

Screening

Cadmium and lead screening at cooperative level, before purchase.

Manufacture

Chocolate and pistachio filling made under one roof in Central Islip, New York.

Distribution

To selected New York metro gourmet markets, food halls and specialty cafés, in shelf-ready 12-bar display shippers.

Dubai chocolate may now be everywhere. Ours will not be.

On the counter

It arrives ready to sell

The shipper is the display. Cut the tape, lift the lid, set it down. Two formats, both twelve bars, both built for the last three feet before the till.

Both formats, side by side

Tiered on the left where there is open counter space, single row on the right where depth is short.

Tiered display

Narrow enough for a till surround, with a price card that stands separately so you set your own shelf price.

Single row
