Ghraoui, an old Damascus establishment founded in 1805, was the first food manufacturer in the region to produce chocolate confections after Sadek Ghraoui brought some chocolate back from France in 1931. So unfamiliar was cocoa to the local palate that gifts of silver spoons and letter openers were included in the purchase as an incentive to buy. On a recent visit to the store, however, we were seduced by a more traditional Syrian confiserie, glazed fruits, and we particularly loved the stoned apricots filledwith roasted pistachios.
