"Customers in Kuwait share our passion for taste and quality. We take great pride in handcrafting each and every item, which results in unique and delicious chocolate. We're extremely excited to introduce our brand and product range to the Middle East through our partnership with Alshaya, and we look forward to customers in the region falling in love with Bridgewater Chocolate," said Mr Landegren.

Established in 1995 in the quaint town of Bridgewater, Connecticut, by Swedish chef Landegren, Bridgewater Chocolate creates exquisite chocolates, made with the finest ingredients. In 1999, as the business was experiencing rapid growth, Landegren partnered with Mr Blauner to manage the company's operations.

Hand-crafted, hand drizzled, and hand-packed, each creation is a synergy of American-style, European quality and fresh ingredients, where no two chocolates are the same. The Bridgewater Chocolate range includes a variety of delicious treats, including chewy caramels wrapped around a selection of nuts, a mix of milk and dark chocolates, buttery toffees and fruit-based products to pleasure those with tropical taste buds.
