March 15th, Dubai: Premium coffee company, Barista Espresso, has won the Best Hot Beverage trophy for its new ‘Chocolate Shot’ at the Gulfood Innovation Awards 2017, held at the Conrad Hotel in Dubai on 26th February.
The Chocolate Shot is the latest in a long line of innovative products to come from Barista Espresso. Renowned for its refined blends and passion for the art of fine coffee, Barista Espresso has emerged as a pioneer of Italian espresso since 1999. The new Chocolate Shot won over the judges thanks to its deeply luxurious, beautifully balanced, rich & creamy flavours.
The Chocolate Shot capsules, which are also Nespresso compatible and packed with the finest chocolate beans, are now available in all major supermarkets across Lebanon. Moreover, they can also be bought online at www.barista-espresso.com/Shop and delivered to households all over the country. Reflecting on the incredible success of the Chocolate Shot, Managing Partner Roy Daniel commented that, “Barista Espresso is already the standard for Italian coffee connoisseurs in the region and we are delighted to see the Chocolate Shot become so rapidly popular with our loyal and discerning customers.’
The Gulfood Innovation Awards is one of the food and beverage industry’s anticipated events, recognising excellence and creativity within the sector and judged by an international panel of independent industry experts. Managing Partner Roy Daniel believes that the award also recognises the innovation behind the Chocolate Shot. “The Chocolate Shot is designed not only for use in our own cutting-edge machines but also in Nespresso machines – we want our amazing new Chocolate Shots to be widely available to as many people as possible.” The Chocolate Shot is also great for the health conscious, containing only 37 calories – and gluten free.
