With 3,000 camels on its Dubai farm, the company sells chocolates through its farm-attached store as well as in luxury hotels and private airlines. It plans to launch an online shopping facility within a month. "We aim to be the Godiva of the Middle East," said Martin Van Almsick, its general manager. "The plan is to be in one mall in each UAE city."
All chocolates are produced without preservatives or chemical additives with a range of locally popular spices, nuts and honey, the company says.
Camels' milk is seen as healthier than cows' milk, containing five times more vitamin C, less fat, less lactose and more insulin, making it a good option for diabetics and the lactose intolerant, according to Mr Van Almsick.
