maltatoday | SUNDAY • 23 FEBRUARY 2025 6 COMMERCIAL New Savina chocolate: Il-Prinjolata crunchy chocolate with fine cut candied fruit AFTER Savina's successful launch, last Christmas, of bot- tled "Imbuljuta - a Traditional Maltese drink with Chestnuts & Chocolate", we are now em- barking on our take on "Prin- jolata - Malta's (probably) old- est traditional dessert"! This forms part of Savina's commitment to bring you Mal- ta's traditions in an innovative and exquisite style. So, what will one expect from our "Prinjolata"? Well, it's the same great taste of Malta's well- known Carnival dessert, only this time it is presented as one of Savina's great-tasting choc- olate bars; covered in luscious white chocolate instead of but- ter cream or meringue… but all in all its a reminiscent morsel of Prinjolata in every bite! A biscuit-center, with a mélange of candied fruit, al- monds and, of course, pine nuts ("prinjol" is the Maltese word for pine nuts!), encased in our finest Belgian white chocolate makes this "prinjolata" a true umami treat! (PS we have also decorated the chocolate to look like it too!) We invite you over to Savina's Artisan centre in Xewkija, to sa- vour and sample our proud, lat- est addition to the Savina family and avail yourselves of a special 25% introductory discount! We hope you'll like it as much as we do and look forward to hearing your views all about it too! The Melita Foundation celebrates five years of making a difference THE Melita Foundation is celebrat- ing five years of activity during which it has supported numerous charities, non-governmental organisations, and innovative projects. Focusing on en- hancing digital skills, fostering crea- tivity, and preserving Malta's heritage and environment, the Melita Founda- tion was established in 2020 with an initial allocation of funds from Apax Partners, Melita's shareholders, until 2019. Over the past twelve months, the Melita Foundation has extended its support to various organisations, from environmental groups like Nature Trust Malta and Zibel to heritage or- ganisations like Din l-Art Helwa and the St John's Co-Cathedral Founda- tion. It has also committed resources to helping children in need or man- aging difficult circumstances and to educational projects for migrants, fos- tering a sense of inclusivity and com- munity. Professor Tanya Sammut-Bonnici, Chair of the Melita Foundation, said, "Looking ahead, the Melita Founda- tion is committed to expanding its support for projects within our pillars of creativity and digital skills, which involve vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, including, but not limited to persons with disabilities, the elder- ly and children at risk. With support from Melita Limited's shareholders, we aim to provide more long-term support for programmes that have im- pacted people's lives."

Ombudsman's report confirms that the alleged damages to the Bartolott Crypt are unfounded THE St John's Co-Cathedral Founda- tion welcomes the report issued by the Ombudsman following an investigation initiated on a complaint based on the content of an online publication last January. The Ombudsman investigated the al- legations raised against the Foundation and concluded that they were complete- ly unfounded. The Foundation strongly reiterates that the publication was founded on in- correct, misleading and deceitful infor- mation. The Ombudsman's investiga- tion report unequivocally confirms that there was never a floor collapse, other incident or damage to the Crypt or the underlying burial chambers. Furthermore, the report has confirmed that all works carried out at the Bartolott Crypt were conducted in full compliance with the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage (SCH) and planning orders, as the Foundation stated immediately re- sponding to the said online publication. The St John's Co-Cathedral Foundation remains committed to upholding the highest ethical and scientific standards of conservation and restoration, while safeguarding the historical and cultural integrity of this national heritage site. Every intervention implemented at the Co-Cathedral, and the Museum's con- struction site, is being carried out with due diligence, thorough research and in complete conformity to professional guidance to attain the best possible out- come.
