Godiva set to unveil new collection of Gems

BELGIUM. Godiva Chocolatier will unveil its new Gems and Tablets Collections at the IAADFS Duty Free Show of the Americas (Booth 733).

Exclusive to travel retail, the Godiva Gems Collection is a line of individually wrapped chocolates featuring three varieties: Gems Truffles, Gems Caramels and Gems Thins. Available in rich milk or dark chocolate, the collection is presented in brightly coloured, jewel tone boxes featuring what Godiva describes as an original “˜click-click’ lid. Once released, the chocolates empty into the cavity of the lid for sharing among family and friends.

Godiva Gems will be available as from February 2010 in travel retail exclusive boxes, containing a single variety of truffles, caramels or thins.
