Willie's Cacao, 'UK's Premium Chocolate Maker' Makes His Way to the UAE

Candylicious Brings Real Chocolate To Chocolate Connoisseurs

Dubai UAE, October 4, 2015: Chocolate connoisseurs are now able to enjoy their favourite cacao as Candylicious introduces premium chocolate collection, Willie's Cacao, to the UAE. The launch event took place at Partylicious, Candylicious official events venue, and was hosted by William Harcourt-Cooze himself. The celebration welcomed media and guests to an exclusive cooking demonstration of Willie’s signature Chocolate Truffles.

Rolling out Willie’s Cacao collection exclusively in Candylicious UAE, the new range includes a variety of flavours, making "Real" cacao available to "Real" chocolatiers. Willie's secret ingredient has been widely speculated to be in his cacao beans. By controlling every step of the journey from ‘bean to bar’, Willie creates chocolate with his own distinct style that is all about maintaining the absolute purity of flavour of the bean.

Head of Confectionery Retail at Alabbar Enterprises, Rosantina Saraswati, said: "The introduction of the new brand to our Candylicious stores continues to highlight the demand from chocolate lovers for real, rich tasting chocolate. Willie's Cacao offers quality beans and choice of intensity, this is one of nature’s finest pairings. We are proud to be welcoming this collection to our stores."

Willie’s Cacao range is exclusively available in Candylicious stores starting September 2015.
