Mirzam is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in the United Arab Emirates. The maker focuses on the historic spice route, creating bars that reflect the geography of the Middle East while maintaining a traditional craft approach to chocolate production.
This 62% dark chocolate bar features a pairing of texture and aromatics. The inclusion of sweet Khalas dates, sourced from the Liwa oasis, provides a chewy contrast to the snap of the chocolate, while fennel seeds offer a subtle, herbal brightness. The result is a profile that balances the earthy, deep tones of the cacao with the natural, sugar-rich profile of the regional dates.
The chocolate is produced through a bean-to-bar process and holds a vegan certification. It gained recognition with a Silver Award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2017, highlighting the quality of the ingredients and the careful balance achieved in the recipe.
