The emirate jobs of Abu Dhabi is the hub of creative professions like writing, photography, painting, designing, mystery shopping and now chocolate tasting. Yes, that’s right-chocolate tasting is beginning to gain importance in the Emirati markets.
The concept of chocolates is newer for Emiratis as entered the region only in 1970s and people are still learning the difference between regular and fine chocolates. Some of the brands launched across Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman in last 15 years are Choco Art, Pistache and Fuala. To cater to the tastes of the people, it is very important to know about their preferences to decide the right fat content, sweetness, cocoa taste and milk quantity. When one can strike the right balance between these ingredients to lure Emiratis to chocolates, then the job is done. The cracking, melting, mixing, tempering and filling and emptying chocolate molds is what it takes to make chocolates.
The chocolate tasting job is surely a tempting one and among the best as one gets paid for what one loves eating the most. But, it is fattening too thus necessitating the habit of exercising to avoid putting on weight. One gets to sniff, sip and lets the chocolate melt in the mouth before making the judgment on what more should be added. The use of meswak stick, a tree branch traditionally functioned as a tooth brush, before trying the next sample of chocolate cleans teeth and refreshes mouth for the new taste. This way the taste of next sample does not get mixed with the previous one.
The major season of chocolates is at the end of Ramjan and Eid as the entire Muslim community craves for something sweet and rich after days of fasting. Generally, they prefer light filling and not too sweet, milk chocolates over heavy, dark ones.
