Gift-Giving Tips

Presentation Matters

• Dubai chocolate is a visual product — use clear boxes or windows so the bars are visible
• Add crushed pistachios as decorative garnish in the box
• Include a small card explaining what Dubai chocolate is (many people still haven't tried it)

Shipping Considerations

• Temperature: Chocolate melts above 80°F — ship with insulated packaging in summer
• Timing: Order at least 7 days before the occasion to account for shipping delays
• Storage note: Include a card advising storage at 60–65°F, not in the refrigerator

Dietary Notes

Dubai chocolate typically contains:

• Gluten (from kataifi pastry)
• Dairy (from milk chocolate and butter)
• Tree nuts (pistachios)

Always check labels if the recipient has allergies.
