1,5 Hour Chocolate Making Class and Tastings in Brussels

When you are booking with us, you are going to experience a true experience with a real handcraft Belgian chocolate maker who is certified  by the Federal Belgian Governement. We proudly display the logo "certified belgian handcraft chocolate" on all our chocolates. We are not a tourist place like the numerous stores located near Grand Place where they only sell industrial chocolates. With us you will really learn how to make your chocolates with the assistance of a true and honest handcraft chocolate maker!

Let's share our passion and learn a lot of things about Belgian chocolate from our plantations to our store in Brussels!

During the workshop you will handcraft some truffles, some mendiants and a personalized chocolate bar using selected cacao coming from our organic plantations located in Haiti Grand Anse. Once known as the perl of the Antilles, Haiti was a great exporter of coffee, vanilla, cacao, sugar cane and essential oils. The 1994 trade embargo, war and insecurity reduced the agricultural industry. Our cooperative partners drives change thanks to the focus on quality cacao and farm diversification. Smallholder farmers in Grand Anse grow our cacao organically, and deliver their wet mass to the fermentation centre where a rigorous fermentation and drying is being done, resulting in a flavoursome cacao that you will be able to use during the workshop. Our farmers receive a premium for the quality they deliver. 33,9% of the price we receive from you for this experience is used to pay the revenue given to our farmers.
