 An Austrian chocolate maker has joined forces with an Arabic camel farm
to create a new delicacy - camel milk chocolates.Vienna-based
Chocolatier Hochleitner took six months to develop the treats using
milk from the Al Ain Camel Farm and Dairy in the UAE.
Company head Johann Georg Hochleitner said camel's milk was a good
alternative to cow's milk because it was lower in fat and sweeter.
"We have combined camel's milk from the farm in Al Ain with honey
from Yemen and have developed a healthy and delicious new type of
chocolate," said Hochleitner.
The first samples were made in Vienna although the partners plan to
build a production plant in the UAE and will invest in another 2,000
camels.
The proposed manufacturing plant is expected to come into production
in June 2006, and will have a capacity of 50 tons of camel chocolate
per month.
Hochleitner and and his Arabic partners plan to target wealthy
customers staying in luxury hotels in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. |
