Callebaut, celebrated for its century-old legacy of authentic Belgian chocolates, is thrilled to announce its continued collaboration with the esteemed Chef Arvind Prasad, who will continue to serve as the brand ambassador in India for the second consecutive year. This partnership holds immense importance for Callebaut as it strives to strengthen its bonds within the culinary community and exemplify the diverse applications of its chocolate products.
Over the past year, Chef Arvind has been the face of the Callebaut brand across numerous significant platforms. Notable highlights from the previous year include his representation of Callebaut at India's largest trade show, Aahar in Delhi, active engagement with the chef community and food industry influencers, and participation in the CIBUS Parma trade show in Italy, where he proudly represented India.
Chef Arvind shared his thoughts, stating, “In my culinary journey, I've had the privilege of working with numerous renowned chocolate brands, but it’s with Callebaut that I’ve found a truly reliable partner. What excites me most about Callebaut chocolates is their workability, versatility, and the unique taste of Belgian chocolate, which allows me to craft my best creations.”
For this year's Diwali celebration, Chef Arvind has introduced 'Diya,' an egg-free creation that beautifully combines the richness of dark chocolate with saffron and a medley of nuts. He explained, “For this creation, I wanted to design an indulgent dessert that pairs Belgian Chocolate with ingredients synonymous with Indian festivities, such as a blend of pistachios, almonds, and cashews, which are extensively used in Diwali gifting.”
Discussing the brand’s growth and the ongoing partnership with Chef Arvind, Mr. Dhruva Sanyal, Managing Director of India for Barry Callebaut, the company behind the Callebaut brand, stated, “Our primary focus is on expanding our presence within the culinary community and promoting the Finest Belgian Chocolate throughout India. The collaboration with Chef Arvind has proven to be exceptionally fruitful, drawing attention to our Callebaut brand and integrating its products into renowned hospitality brands throughout India. We eagerly anticipate Chef Arvind's extensive pastry expertise and reputation, which will further enhance Callebaut's brand awareness and market share.”
This year, Chef Arvind is scheduled to conduct several masterclasses, with his first session set to take place at the Bakery Biz in Mumbai on November 29, 2023. He will continue to create, share, and inspire through Callebaut's digital platforms and will be actively involved in Callebaut's pan-India competition. This competition is designed to provide an opportunity for the chef community to showcase their talent and compete for the prestigious title of 'Callebaut Patissier of the Year.'
Callebaut and Chef Arvind's partnership continues to be a delectable success story, and we look forward to more sweet creations and collaborations in the coming year.

The Ritz-Carlton's Blu Beach Club at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru is preparing for an unforgettable culinary collaboration this November. The resort is set to host two-Michelin-starred Chef Nino Di Costanzo, whose visionary talent from his acclaimed restaurant, Danì Maison in Ischia, will bring a taste of Italy to the Maldives. Known for blending Mediterranean flavors with local ingredients, Chef Nino's residency is a celebration of culinary artistry and cross-cultural exchange.
Starting from November 11, 2024, Chef Nino will transform the dining experience at Blu Beach Club for an entire week. Guests will have the unique opportunity to savor his masterful creations, which fuse the island traditions of both Italy and the Maldives. His approach combines the freshest ingredients from Landaa’s herb and vegetable gardens with the rich flavors of the Mediterranean, creating a truly sensory dining experience. Chef Nino’s famous dishes, such as the 35-shape Pasta and Potatoes, Sea Bass with vegetables and herb sauce, and Breaded Veal Cutlet, will be on the menu for guests to enjoy.
Chef Nino's philosophy revolves around creating a connection with his guests before the first bite is taken. His process of crafting a dish begins months in advance, with careful attention to every detail, including the selection of the perfect plate. His passion for merging nature and creativity aligns perfectly with the ethos of Landaa Giraavaru, a resort that emphasizes sustainability and a deep respect for the natural environment.
As part of the collaboration, Chef Nino will work closely with Blu Beach Club’s culinary team, sharing his skills and insights. Four members of the team have already spent time training at Danì Maison, learning from one of the best in the business. This partnership not only elevates the guest experience but also provides invaluable career development for the resort's chefs.
Guests will be able to experience Chef Nino's gastronomy during two week-long residencies, from November 11 to 17, 2024, and again from February 13 to 19, 2025. After these residencies, Blu Beach Club’s chefs will continue serving a specially curated menu by Chef Nino to two tables of four each evening, offering an intimate and exclusive dining experience.
According to Armando Kraenzlin, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Landaa Giraavaru, "Collaborating with Chef Nino will not only offer an inspirational culinary experience to our guests but also expose our culinary team to unique insights, advancing their skills in extraordinary ways."
For those interested in experiencing Chef Nino’s culinary magic firsthand, reservations can be made through the resort’s website or by contacting Four Seasons Resort Maldives’ Central Reservations Department.
