Keeping chocolate perfect in the UAE heat
- Store it in a cool, dry room away from sunlight, ideally between 15 and 18 degrees.
- Never leave chocolate in a parked car, even for a few minutes in summer.
- If you must use the fridge, keep the box sealed and let it reach room temperature before opening, so no white bloom forms on the surface.
- Order for delivery on the day you need it rather than days ahead.

Chocolate-only gifts are delivered the same day in Dubai when you order before 8 PM Dubai time, and within 1 to 2 days to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Flower and Patchi combos are delivered within Dubai.
