“The modern master of bean-to-bar chocolate in Brussels; famous for his square ganaches.”
Brussels is world-renowned as the capital of chocolate and the inventor of the praline. Belgian chocolate is characterized by its high cocoa content and 100% cocoa butter composition. The praline is a chocolate shell filled with a soft center like ganache or praline paste. Order from artisanal chocolatiers who produce small batches for the best quality. Visitors should look for unique flavor combinations beyond the standard industrial options.
