If you’re wandering in the area around Almaty’s Green Bazaar, chances are that you will notice the tantalising aroma of chocolate in the air.
A selection of delights from Rakhat
The area behind the sprawling market is home to the Rakhat confectionery factory, which offers chocoholics a sublime choice of products. It produces its signature milk chocolate bar ‘Kazakhstan’ which comes in packaging in the colours of the Kazakh flag and with a gold shanyrak – the circular opening that goes at the top of a yurt and a symbol of Kazakhstan
Rakhat is always coming up with innovative products – recent new lines include a milk chocolate apple, available in red or green and a kazyna, or treasure chest, filled with gold -covered chocolate coins. The apple, a symbol of Almaty, will remind Brits of that perennial Christmas stocking-filler, Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
So, if chocolate titllates your tastebuds, then Kazaxia recommends you get down to the shop that is attached to the factory and indulge your passion.
