Here's something interesting: The first camel milk chocolate (and it's 70% cocoa!)
Out of Dubai, UAE All Nassma Chocolate became the first company in the world to produce camel milk chocolate. They've been working on this uniquely tasting chocolate aimed at the Arabic palate for several years.

There are five different flavors available in the Al Nassma line flavored with local spices, and dates, macadamia nuts, orange etc. but the new gold wrapped chocolate camel is the new jewel in their crown. Using Camelicious camel milk and 70% cocoa they have created a pretty unique premium chocolate.

Chocolate in the UAE is consumed weekly by 98% of respondents in a recent chocolate market study. Globally, Europe accounts for about 45% of the revenue and America with about a third of the market share of the chocolate industry.

Chocolate has been in the news a lot lately with new studies showing dark cacao being healthy in numerous ways. One of the more recent studies to report on the positives of chocolate appeared in a recent issue of the Journal of Internal Medicine. Researchers from Sweden and the US found that higher chocolate intake decreased the risk of death from heart related problems in people who had already suffered a heart attack. In fact, heart attack sufferers who consumed chocolate at least twice a week had a 66 per cent reduction in cardiac mortality in the eight years following their initial heart attack, compared to 27 per cent for those who ate it less than once per month.

One of the larger studies to date, published in the Archive of Internal Medicine in 2006, found that men who consumed more than two grams of cocoa products per day were 50 per cent less likely to develop heart disease than men with the lowest consumption. What’s more, in 2005, Italian researchers fed participants with elevated blood pressure almost equal amounts of dark or white chocolate on a daily basis. At the end of the study period, those who received the daily dose of dark chocolate not only had lower blood pressure, but also experienced a drop in LDL, or unhealthy cholesterol levels. People who indulged in the daily white chocolate, however, did not experience any improvement.

The color of the chocolate, which generally shows how much cocoa it contains, determines how good it is for you. Cocoa contains flavonoids, natural compounds with strong antioxidant properties that are also found in berries and green tea. Chocolate with the most cocoa, and therefore flavonoids, is the healthiest. Like all vegetables, of course, eating cocoa unheated leaves in more of the beneficial properties.

The new All Nassma Camel Milk Chocolate is 70% cocoa, a high amount for typical milk chocolates and more like most dark chocolates. I don't know when or if this will be available anytime soon in stores near you (unless you live in Dubai) but it definitely sounds like a taste we should all get a chance to try!
