So, armed with a shared passion for chocolate, they enrolled in a chocolate making course, and quickly opened their own chocolate boutique soon after, selling handmade truffles and pralines in a myriad of flavors, including raspberry, pistachio, tiramisu, nougat, rum, mango, passion fruit, marzipan, and more. They also sell the famous Dubai chocolate. One of the specificities of Chocolala is that you can find pralines that are dairy and kosher, others that are vegan, and also some that are parve. @chocolala.israel Samaya Boho chic fashion After selling her clothes in markets and festivals across the country for years, Samaya decided to open her own shop in the Artists’ Stables.
