Dubai, UAE – March 7, 2025 – AARAYA^®, a luxury chocolatier known for its premium chocolates and gourmet dates, has unveiled its exclusive Ramadan Collection. The collection, inspired by the spirit of generosity and togetherness, offers a refined blend of tradition and contemporary craftsmanship, making it an ideal choice for gifting and sharing during the holy month.

The vision behind AARAYA^®'s Signature Collection is led by renowned Master Chocolatier Barry Colenso, whose career spans over four decades. Colenso, formerly Master Chocolatier at Thorntons, has been responsible for crafting iconic creations such as the Celebration Cake for the Late Queen Mother's 85th birthday and the Chocolate Wedding Cake for Prince William and Catherine's royal wedding in 2011.

'Ramadan is a time of reflection, generosity, and togetherness. At AARAYA^®, we wanted to create a collection that embodies these values while celebrating the rich heritage of the region. Our chocolates and gourmet dates are crafted with love and passion, ensuring every bite resonates with luxury and tradition,' said Barry Colenso, the renowned Master Chocolatier behind AARAYA^®'s Signature Collection.

AARAYA^® has established itself as a leader in the world of luxury confections, earning accolades such as the Great Taste Award in 2022 and 2023 and the International Confectionery - Product of the Year Award in 2024.

The newly launched Ramadan Collection features an array of handcrafted chocolates and gourmet dates, meticulously curated to offer a rich sensory experience. The selection includes dark chocolate truffles infused with Middle Eastern spices and silky dark chocolate with saffron, each crafted using the finest single-origin cocoa beans that are Fino de Aroma certified—a distinction held by less than 8% of the world's cocoa.

Complementing the chocolates, AARAYA^®'s gourmet dates are filled with premium nuts and coated in smooth, velvety chocolate. The collection is presented in elegant, eco-friendly packaging that reflects both sophistication and sustainability.
