Godiva Unveils its Traditional Spanish Treat: Polvorón
Godiva Japan Co., based in Minato, Tokyo, is set to introduce the delightful Spanish treat known as Polvorón on August 6, 2025. Available in select Godiva shops, cafes, and online, this traditional confection promises a unique melt-in-the-mouth experience that fans are sure to love.
Originating from the Andalusian region of Spain, Polvorón is a type of shortbread made using roasted wheat flour. It has a wonderfully crumbly texture that disintegrates in your mouth, creating a satisfying and delicate mouthfeel. Godiva's versions offer two exclusive flavors:
Chocolate & Nuts and
Strawberry, both crafted to appeal to a wide palette.
The Polvorón Chocolate & Nuts combines rich chocolate flavor and the crunchiness of almonds, making for a deliciously indulgent treat. Using 65% cocoa chocolate sourced from Belgium, Godiva ensures quality and flavor in every bite. The delightful aroma of cocoa enhances the experience, making this version a perfect companion for chocolate lovers.
Meanwhile, the Polvorón Strawberry is made with Belgian white chocolate blended with strawberry powder, evoking bright and fruity flavors. It features a refreshing tang of strawberry coupled with the sweet notes of white chocolate, providing a delightful contrast that bursts with flavor. The careful balance of texture and aroma draws attention to its quality and craftsmanship.
In creating these Polvorón variations, particular attention was paid to the balance between the components, such as chocolate and roasted flour, striving for that unmistakable crumbly sensation. Moreover, its sweetness from powdered sugar beautifully complements the other flavors, making for a luscious treat.
Wada Minaki, a member of the development team at Meigetsu Seika Co., based in Arakawa, Tokyo, emphasized the brand’s commitment to the authentic Polvorón experience. The company has dedicated itself to achieving an excellent texture, achieving that coveted ‘crisp’ and ‘melt-in-your-mouth’ quality along with aromatic notes that define its products.
As the launch approaches, fans of Godiva and traditional sweets alike can look forward to indulging in these well-crafted treats. The Polvorón will be available at select Godiva stores and online from August 12, 2025, but with limited availability, dessert enthusiasts are encouraged to grab theirs while supplies last. Both flavors are priced at 648 JPY (tax included), making it a tempting option for a delightful sweet escape.
