Viral Dubai Chocolate Chef Nouel Catis Unveils Exclusive Sweet Collaboration with Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara

This Khareef season, Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara is turning up the indulgence with an exclusive collaboration featuring viral sensation Chef Nouel Catis — the creative mind behind the pistachio kunafa chocolate that took the Middle East by storm.

From 1 June to 31 August 2025, guests can savour The Anantara Khareef Chocolate, a luxurious creation inspired by Salalah’s rich heritage and tropical charm. This limited-edition treat, available only at the resort’s Mediterranean beachside venue Al Mina, blends local frankincense with a sweet coconut katayef mixture for a distinctly Omani twist on artisan chocolate.

But that’s not all — Chef Nouel is also bringing his signature Coconut Malva Cake, a nostalgic dessert with soft, comforting flavours to complete the seasonal lineup.

Founder of his namesake brand and sister company Sna’ap, launched in October 2024, Chef Nouel brings a decade of experience and a passion for cultural storytelling to this unique pop-up. Known for transforming bold ideas into beloved culinary creations, his collaboration with Anantara marks a celebration of craftsmanship, terroir, and regional identity.
