Godiva brings sparkle and indulgence to Singapore


With the Asia Pacific region showing double digit growth for Godiva last year, TFWA Asia Pacific provides the perfect opportunity for the company to both reveal its latest innovations and to discuss new concepts and directions for the category.

In Singapore this year (stand E2), the Godiva team will present its 2015 Christmas and 2016 Chinese New Year collections for the first time. 





 “Godiva continues to perform well in Asia Pacific” CS Lam, Head of GTR Asia Pacific, says. “We continue to innovate, not only on chocolate but also on self-treat range such as introducing soft serve (ice cream) in Travel Retail. We are also exploring new retail formats, such as testing pastries in the market.”

With creative innovations each year, showcasing Godiva’s Belgian quality and heritage, each new line is about offering decadent and luxurious flavours perfectly packaged for travellers.

Seasonal times are ideal to showcase Godiva’s Chefs Chocolatier talent in creating new chocolates and delight with the ultimate chocolate experience.

The Godiva Christmas Collection 2015 is perfect for surprising family and friends with a design inspired by holiday ornaments and baubles – iconic festive symbols that are carried throughout the offer. By linking a design featuring Christmas tree decorations brought to life with a dazzling array of colourful gift boxes in beautiful hues or red and Godiva gold evokes treasured memories and creates smiles all around. The presentation is further enhanced with shimmery papers and festive novelties, lending extra sparkle to holiday celebrations.

The collection includes four different holiday gifts: a gift box of 20 pieces including two limited edition pure chocolate pieces in milk and dark, a 12 pieces truffle box, and for children, a new designed Advent calendar and a Christmas pouch filled with delicious milk carrés.

To celebrate the Year of the Monkey in 2016, gorgeous red boxes, decorated with a monkey drawn in delicate gold brush strokes are introduced in two Limited Editions. Red represents fire and symbolises good fortune and joy in Chinese culture. A touch of gold enhances the elegance of this box and portrays the premium quality of Godiva.

To appeal to Chinese tastes, Chefs Chocolatier have developed exquisite recipes that will be sure to enchant chocolate lovers. Three different tea flavours, combined with praliné in white, milk and dark chocolate will make the Year of the Monkey a special celebration. There are two choices to begin the year full of happiness and prosperity: a 15 piece chocolate box containing three exclusive recipes, and a mouth-watering 48 piece Carrés giftbox containing 2 exclusive carrés: Milk Belgian Wafer and Dark Bresilienne.

A third major focus in Singapore will be Sablés Delicious and sophisticated, rich and impressive, Godiva’s fine butter biscuits or Sablés bring together recipes from different cultures; spicy ginger from Asia, buttery pecans from Central America, dark chocolate from the African continent and almond speculoos from Belgium – all dipped in delicious Godiva milk chocolate.  Importantly for the Asian market, each biscuit is individually wrapped for freshness and perfect sharing.
Reflecting the importance of variety, Godiva is offering an 18 pieces assortment of Ultimate Chocolate, Macadamia Ginger and Almond Speculoos, an exclusive Travel Retail Quattro Pack (2 ultimate chocolate monopack, 1 pecan chips chocolate monopack and 1 Almond speculoos monopack) along with three mono-packs with 6 sablés inside: Almond Speculoos, Pecan Chocolate Chips and Ultimate Chocolate. The GODIVA Sablés biscuit collection is decorated with playful Jules Verne balloons that embody the spirit of adventure, presented on a sky blue background with embossed detailing.
To complete the Godiva new offer for 2015 are Mousse Meringue and Coeur Iconique Limited Edition- both affirming the brand’s continuing ability to deliver uniqueness and innovation.  Mousse Meringue will indulge your senses with this delightful taste sensation with daring flavour combinations. Artfully crafted with spectacular élan – it marries the airy lightness of meringue with the sumptuous depth of mousse, generously enveloped in GODIVA’s signature dark, milk and white Belgian chocolate.
Nestled in the centre of each Mousse Meringue like a gift, is a perfectly crisp mini meringue encased in six delectable flavours: Chocolate, Fraise, Citron, Café, Praliné Piedmont, and Mandarine Amande.

Mousse Meringue is presented in two sizes, 9 and 16pcs, in covetable blush pink square boxes, subtly adorned with pale whirls that evoke the meringue inside, and embossed with gold lettering.

Finally, Coeur Iconique Limited Edition, a one-time offer this summer, only in Airports and only now, plays on the keepsake factor, comprising a cute heart shaped box containing six Godiva hearts in milk, dark chocolate and white versions. Vibrantly coloured for instant shelf appeal in fresh mint and soft pink or flashy purple and vibrant orange. Coeur Iconique taps into the current pop art trend.

Starting in Belgium in 1926, Godiva has developed a world‐wide reputation for excellence with a presence in over 100 countries offering a wide range of chocolate creations. Inspired by the values of Lady Godiva, her passion, generosity, boldness and pioneering spirit, Godiva Chocolatier creates the ultimate chocolate experience and makes the right statement, whatever the occasion. Perfectly combining its craftsmanship and heritage, Godiva's chocolate has become synonymous with luxury and innovation according to Belgian tradition, bringing the best of Belgium to the world.
