Petit Gourmet is a premium confectionery brand under Agthia Group, a leading Abu Dhabi food and beverage company, and part of ADQ.

Following on from its launch at Sharjah Duty Free, Kreol Travel Retail and Lagardère have joined forces to introduce Petit Gourmet’s Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate to Abu Dhabi Duty Free.

Kreol Travel Retail, in partnership with Petit Gourmet, has announced the launch of the Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate (470g) in Abu Dhabi Duty Free operated by Lagardère Travel Retail, at Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi.

Kreol Travel Retail represents the Agthia portfolio of brands across the travel retail channel, including luxury dates brand Zadina, healthy snacking brand Freakin’ Healthy and much more.

Kreol Arakulath, Executive Director of Kreol Group, stated: “Launching Petit Gourmet’s Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate at Abu Dhabi Duty Free captures the essence of travel retail excellence, blending local authenticity with international appeal. While many follow the Dubai chocolate trend, our approach uniquely reimagines execution, providing travelers a differentiated experience.

It’s an honor to represent Abu Dhabi brands and companies through our work with Agthia, promoting authentic made-in-UAE products through strategic collaboration with UAE airports such as Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport. Thanks to Lagardère Travel Retail’s support, we get to spotlight our local heritage and create memorable moments for travellers passing through Abu Dhabi.”

This new confectionery offering combines the popular viral kunafa chocolate trend inspired by regional desserts with a distinctive sharing format tailored for travel retail.

Kreol noted this localised collaboration underscores Agthia and ADQ’s ongoing commitment to enhancing Abu Dhabi’s position as a center of innovation, further strengthening Abu Dhabi Duty Free’s appeal to discerning travellers seeking unique, destination-themed gifting and indulgent treats.

The Petit Gourmet Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate is now available at Abu Dhabi Duty Free stores in Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi.

Renee Mallia, VP-Marketing at Lagardere Travel Retail UAE, also commented: “We’re delighted to partner with Kreol Travel Retail on this exciting launch, which brings a distinctive local touch to Abu Dhabi Duty Free. The Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate blends global confectionery trends with authentic regional flavors, resulting in a product that is both modern and rooted in local culture.

Its beautifully crafted packaging, inspired by the UAE’s landscape, makes it a great new addition to our offering. Perfect for gifting or sharing, it’s a memorable way for travelers to take a taste of the destination home.”
