Chef Nouel Catis Launches 'Abu Dhabi Chocolate' With Rain Café

The city-themed bar folds Emirati staples—saffron, cardamom, tahini, dates, halwa—beneath an edible-gold finish to honor the capital’s heritage.

Overview

  • The new Sna'ap release is now on sale exclusively at Rain Café and via the café’s online store at rain.ae.
  • Chef Catis describes a flavor profile built around salted caramel and halwa with saffron, cardamom, tahini, date syrup and a light nostalgic crunch.
  • The bar features delicate edible gold on top in a nod to a refined, luxury presentation tied to Abu Dhabi’s identity.
  • Catis frames the project as a personal homage to the UAE, extending his place-based series after helping create Dubai’s viral pistachio-kunafa chocolate.
  • Indian Express reports a price of $27 for a 200g bar, and Sna'ap is also rolling out additional salted caramel variants aimed at younger buyers.
