Emirates collaborates closely with connoisseur chocolatiers from around the globe and rotates the chocolate onboard every 3 months to delight frequent flyers. Currently onboard is elite French chocolatier – Valrhona.
Recognized worldwide as the choice of prestigious chefs and chocolate gourmands, Valrhona was established in France in 1922 by pastry maker and confectioner, Albéric Guironnet. With over 100 years of passionate and meticulous craftmanship for exceptional chocolates, Valrhona is renowned for its dedication to excellence and innovation in the art of chocolate making, as well as its commitment to ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility, holding a B Corp certification which recognises the world’s most committed companies.
Emirates partnered with Valrhona to create a bespoke luxury chocolate box for First Class customers, which are offered after meals onboard. Zeyneb Larabi, Global Travel Retail Director of Valrhona remarked;
‘Partnering with Emirates underscores our shared values of excellence, attention to detail and a commitment to creating unforgettable experiences. This collaboration goes beyond offering a delightful product, it creates lasting memories for customers enjoying the Emirates experience.’
