RIYADH — Forrey & Galland, a luxury retailer that specializes in chocolate, macarons, high-end porcelain products, and meticulous product packaging, opened its doors to Saudi Arabia last Jan. 17. To mark the memorable occasion Forrey & Galland invited royalty, ambassadors and VIPs to experience an evening full of luxury confectionary, classical music and a showing of their premium products specific to special occasions, such as baby showers and bridal gifts.
Originating from Paris over a century ago, Forrey and Galland have revitalized the brand by finding a new home in the Middle East. Isabelle Jaouen, founder and owner stated: “We pride ourselves on our rich French heritage. Our confectionary and porcelain is entrenched in hundreds of years of craftsmanship, and when guests visit Forrey & Galland they feel the luxurious Parisian experience. However, since our relocation to the Middle East our recipes and traditions have been heavily influenced by Arabian culture. Our dedicated chefs put hours of research into which Arabic ingredients improves our products, which has lead to Arabic flavors, spices, and even flowers included into our handmade chocolates.
After launching their flagship boutique in the iconic Dubai Mall, Mrs Jaouen, identified Riyadh as the prime location to progress the company’s expansion. Mrs jaouen added: “Similarly to Parisians, the Riyadh community often search for fine quality; whether that be in clothing, dining or of course, chocolate! We’re extremely excited with this new endeavor, and we cannot wait to introduce ourselves to all of our Saudi friends.”
