The latest Chocolate Tasting Flight is here from Dubai
— presenting Mirzam Chocolate Makers!

While we are blessed to live here and enjoy more safely and freedom than the rest of the country and indeed, most of the world right now, we still miss exotic food and locations. Our customers have shown great enthusiasm for chocolate from far-away places. For this tasting flight, we revisit Mirzam from the United Arab Emirates. This flight is loaded with Arabic spices, desserts, and coffee to scratch your travel itch.

Tasting Flight - Mirzam
$54.00
Mirzam!

Khabeesa – This bar is mixed with dates and crumbs of khabeesa biscuits. This bready chocolate bar has a subtle and complex flavour.
 
Dates and Fennel – This bar returns as the inspiration for this flight! This bar’s soft, aromatic filling is hard to stop eating!

Coffee and Cardamom – Arabic coffee with cardamom is a tried-and-true pair. And a splendid pair with chocolate.

Figs, Star Anise, & Cinnamon – A similar flavour profile to the dates and fennel bar, but as a solid bar, it’s much easier to savour!

Lockboxes
Perfect for after-hours pickups, these two lockboxes are just to the right of my front door. You will see them clearly if you are coming from the direction of Belbin's Grocery.

The boxes have electronic locks that can be keyed to any four digits — like the last four digits of a customer's phone number.

The code will look like this: #0000#
