6 DARK, MILK OR WHITE CHOCOLATE?
A recent survey published by franchisehelp.com found that 35% of respondents believe dark chocolate to be healthier than other varieties and while milk chocolate still dominates, health benefits are swinging in favour of dark chocolate.
Pierre Feghali, general manager at EMF Emirates explains, “If we look specifically at the Gulf area, milk chocolate constitutes almost 80-90% of the chocolate market. Today though, especially in the UAE, dark chocolate has increased tremendously in volume.
A decade ago, dark chocolate was almost exclusively requested by five-star hotels that cater mainly for expats and tourists. Now, we see more and more chocolatiers requesting dark chocolate, although it is still small compared to milk. Tastes are changing, but the awareness of the health benefits of dark chocolate has a lot to do with this trend as well.”
