After captivating chocolate lovers across the United States with the launch of its limited-edition handmade Lindt Dubai Chocolate Bar in December 2024, Lindt & Sprüngli (USA) has officially announced the nationwide debut of its now-iconic Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate. Beginning July 7, this luxurious bar will be available at major retailers across the country—but with limited stock, fans are urged to act quickly.
The decision to expand distribution nationwide comes on the heels of an extraordinary consumer response. During the pre-launch in June, the initial limited release of the Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar—available exclusively through Lindt Retail Stores and online—sold out within 24 hours, setting a new benchmark for demand in Lindt’s U.S. product history. The buzz surrounding the bar began months earlier when the handmade version debuted during the 2024 holiday season. Its unique fusion of Middle Eastern-inspired flavors and traditional Swiss chocolate craftsmanship instantly earned it a cult following.
A Flavor Inspired by Global Luxury
The Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar draws its inspiration from the sophisticated and indulgent dessert trends emerging from Dubai—an international hub of luxury and innovation. With demand for Dubai-inspired confections surging globally, Lindt sought to create a flavor profile that embodies the richness and opulence of the region. The result is a bar unlike anything else in the brand’s portfolio.
Crafted by Lindt’s renowned Master Chocolatiers, the Dubai Style Chocolate Bar features the brand’s signature smooth and creamy Swiss milk chocolate, encasing a luscious and aromatic filling. The centerpiece of the bar is a velvety pistachio paste made with 45% premium pistachios—a nut prized not only for its flavor but also its ties to luxury and wellness. This indulgent filling is complemented by crunchy kadayif, a traditional shredded pastry often found in Middle Eastern desserts, along with toasted almonds and hazelnuts that add texture and depth to every bite.
“The Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar is a masterful blend of cultures and culinary innovation,” said Ann Czaja, Lindt Master Chocolatier. “After the handmade version sold out in days last December, we knew we had something truly special. Our team worked diligently to refine the recipe and adapt it for wider production without compromising on the craftsmanship and premium ingredients that make it so exceptional. This is chocolate that tells a story—of global inspiration, of indulgence, and of the artistry behind every Lindt creation.”
A National Rollout Designed for Chocolate Lovers Everywhere
In response to the overwhelming demand, Lindt has scaled up production while preserving the artisanal essence of the original recipe. Starting July 7, fans of the brand will be able to purchase the Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar at select nationwide retailers including Walmart, Target, Kroger, Albertsons, Publix, Meijer, Walgreens, Hannaford, Hy-Vee, Stop & Shop, and others. Despite its expanded availability, the bar will still be offered in limited quantities, reinforcing its premium and exclusive positioning in the Lindt lineup.
The national rollout represents more than just a product launch—it reflects Lindt’s ongoing commitment to innovation and responsiveness to evolving consumer tastes. With flavor trends shifting toward more exotic, globally inspired, and elevated experiences, Lindt is positioning itself at the forefront of gourmet chocolate innovation in the U.S. market.
“Our goal has always been to surprise and delight our customers with new and exciting offerings,” Czaja added. “This product is not only a response to a flavor trend—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship and the global language of taste. We believe the Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar will become a new favorite among premium chocolate lovers nationwide.”
Luxury in Every Bite
At the heart of this new offering is Lindt’s dedication to quality. Each bar undergoes meticulous production processes to ensure that it meets the brand’s world-class standards. From sourcing fine pistachios and freshly roasted nuts to selecting the ideal milk chocolate blend for balance and mouthfeel, every element has been fine-tuned for a luxurious eating experience.
Unlike standard chocolate bars, the Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate is designed to be savored. The combination of soft, nutty filling and crisp textures encourages slow, intentional enjoyment, making it a perfect treat for a quiet moment or an elegant gift for a special occasion. The visually striking packaging, inspired by both Swiss heritage and Middle Eastern luxury, further enhances the premium feel of the product.
Meeting the Moment: Global Flavor Trends and Consumer Curiosity
The Dubai Style Chocolate Bar is also a strategic response to the increasing interest among American consumers in international flavor experiences. Global culinary curiosity has fueled the popularity of pistachio-based desserts, Middle Eastern pastries, and fusion creations. As a company with deep roots in European chocolate tradition, Lindt’s ability to merge classic techniques with new inspirations gives it a unique advantage in delivering novel taste experiences.
“Flavor trends today are more global than ever,” Czaja said. “People want to explore new regions and cultures through food, and chocolate is a perfect vehicle for that exploration. Our Dubai Style Bar is more than just a sweet treat—it’s an invitation to discover something extraordinary.”
