A New 'Snobby' Camel Chocolate Out

Just a small diversion from blogging topics from Kamila today as she found out that chocolate is now being marketed made out of camels’ milk. Kamila naturally has known about the health benefits of camels’ milk, she had been brought up on it after all. Kamila thinks that the people who are marketing this are a bit ‘snobby’ and she knows that it will be a very expensive product aims at the ‘well to do’.

Why anyone thinks that products in Harrods are better than product on other shops is a mystery. They just charge more in Harrods; mind you an Arab owns it! It was the same when Kamila was for sale in Hamley’s Toy Shop in London’s Oxford Street. If she were in another shop her sale price would have been much lower.

Although the camels are based in the Dubai, United Arab Emirates there is quite a strong relationship between these and Egyptian camels.

The world's first camel's milk chocolate will be available in Europe and the U.S. soon said a spokesperson for Al Nassma, the maker of camel's milk chocolate.

In the UK, camel's milk chocolate will be sold at Harrods and in the US San Francisco's Chocolate Covered will be among the first to sell the chocolate.

100 tons of chocolate will be produced a year in partnership with Austrian chocolate maker Manner, Al Nassma manufactures the end product at its Dubai facility.

3,000 camels in Dubai produce the milk. It plans to launch an online shopping facility within a month, the company said said.

"We aim to be the Godiva of the Middle East," "It's a luxury product, so we will never be in supermarkets. The plan is to be in one mall in each UAE city."

All chocolates are natural with no preservatives or additives and will be available in a range of locally popular spices, nuts and honey, the company says.

Camels' milk is seen as healthier than cows' milk, containing five times more vitamin C, less fat, less lactose and more insulin, making it a good option for diabetics and the lactose intolerant, Van Almsick said.

Not a Sweet Tooth Camel

It was a hungry Kamila who notice some food on the side. she walked slowly toward the chocolate cakes and sweet rolls sniffing at them. "What does it taste like?" she asked as the sniffing continued.

We said that these were meant to be eaten after our main meal and they taste sweet. We also said that we don't eat this kind of food very often as it makes you fat and rots your teeth with all the fat and sugar inside.

Kamila suddenly stopped sniffing at the food and asked if she cold try some.

We gave here some chocolate cake to try as she start chewing the face changed to a grimace. "I'm glad I'm a camel" she said.

"Why?" we asked with a question mark over our heads.

"We camels don't eat sweet food, and I glad because I'm not fat and have a lovely set of teeth, so I'm glad I'm a camel."

Well we understood what she was saying, what a perceptive camel she is.
