Lindt launched a new flagship boutique store in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront with a cocktail soiree attended by South African media on 29 September.
The store offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience for customers to create their own chocolate with the help of an in-house master chocolatier. Guests can pick from selected toppings (pistachios, hazelnuts, desiccated coconuts, candied orange, cranberry and Lindt Fruit Sensations) for their chocolate bar and your bespoke chocolate treat will be made for you on the spot.
Chocolatier Bulelwa Mzwali, who was trained by the highest ranking master chocolatier in South Africa, Dimo Simatos, is the genius making sweet sensations at the V&A store.
Introductions of new equipment like the Crema Gelato machine, which head of retail Stefan Kuhn described as the only Lindt ice cream machine in the whole country, ensures that every experience within the store is special.
‘The new interactive Lindt Chocolate Boutique is sure to be Cape Town’s ultimate chocolate destination. Not only will it be our latest South African retail store to date, but it will also offer Cape Town consumers full access to the authentic Lindt experience, allowing them to truly immerse themselves in the brand and gain a greater appreciation for the art of chocolate making,’ he added.
With the festive season around the corner, it’s the perfect opportunity to pick out splendid (and yummy) gifts for your loved ones this year.
