UPDATE 1/28/2014: Congratulations to the winner, Andy Au! Thanks to all the entrants and have a happy lunar new year!
Lunar New Year is about to gallop into our lives: the Year of the Horse is almost upon us, with Chinese Year 4712 beginning on January 31, 2014.
GODIVA, the famous chocolatier, will celebrate the traditional Asian holiday – and its 88th anniversary – by offering limited edition Lunar New Year gift boxes.
Building off of the success of the Mid-Autumn Festival Chocolate Mooncakes in 2013 (yay! mooncakes with no red beans!), GODIVA is once again offering consumers a limited edition product to celebrate one of the most important holidays for the Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean communities. The year 2014 also marks the 88th anniversary of GODIVA, which began creating chocolate masterpieces in Belgium in 1926.
The collection features three exceptionally delectable chocolate pieces that contain ingredients popular with Asian consumers, such as pears, cherries and pineapples. The pieces, which are sold as a part of a selection of Lunar New Year gift boxes, include:
- Dark Caramel Pear – crunchy caramel pear ganache made with a blend of Venezuela milk chocolate and Santo Domingo dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla, enrobed in dark chocolate
- Milk Cherry Almond – crunchy almond praline blended with Vanuatu-origin chocolate, sour cherry and a hint of honey, enrobed in milk chocolate
- White Pineapple Macadamia – sweet Dominican Republic white chocolate ganache blended with nutty macadamia cream and fruity pineapple, enrobed in white chocolate
The 20-piece Lunar New Year Gift Box is encased in a red cover with an iconic image of Lady Godiva on her galloping horse embossed in gold. The 32-piece Luxury Gift Box is covered in red velvet, offering customers a treasured keepsake beyond the Lunar New Year holiday. With its gold and red-themed design, both gift boxes are perfect for gifting to friends and family during the Lunar New Year.
The “Year of the Horse” collection also holds special significance since the company’s logo is Lady Godiva on horseback, an image replicated in this collection’s pieces.
The GODIVA “Year of the Horse” collection is available as a $50 gift and a $120 luxury gift box at GODIVA boutiques nationwide. They will be in stores and online for a limited time only until Jan. 31. Visit www.GODIVA.com for more information for the Lunar New Year collection and for store locations.
