Manama, Bahrain 27 August 2007: Taking its premium class onboard catering to greater heights, Gulf Air, the five-times-in-a-row winner of the SkyTrax Best Onboard Catering Award for First Class, has just introduced one more delicacy to its award winning First Class menu.

A select range of handmade premium chocolates will be served onboard for First Class passengers from now on, to be supplied by Bahraini chocolatier-couple Ali Rashid and Marjo Rashid under an exclusive arrangement.

“Gulf Air has carved a niché for itself in onboard fine-dining by introducing refreshingly innovative service concepts and products,” says Gulf Air Executive Vice President Marketing and Sales Lee Shave.

“We understand well our premium passengers, who not only have discerning tastes and but also expect certain exclusivity when travelling with us. The chocolate range produced by Ali and Marjo, who are trained in Holland in chocolate-making, fits this bill. They have recreated the European chocolate-making art with a Middle Eastern finesse right here in Bahrain. Besides, as the flag carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Gulf Air is proud to support this unique local venture.”

Passengers can indulge themselves tasting some of the unique and exotic couverture chocolate combinations, developed and perfected by the couple, such as Zanzabil ginger, Muhallabiah, Caramel delight and Hazelnut cream.

“We are proud to be a supplier to Gulf Air’s first class cabin service, which has set an industry standard for onboard service,” adds Ali Rashid.

“We use the finest quality ingredients sourced from Switzerland and other European countries and personally create our combinations to ensure our chocolates provide a long-lasting experience to Gulf Air customers.”
