made in belgium

The creation of Neuhaus chocolates is carried out only in Belgium, in our atelier in Brussels. These artisans represent the soul of the House, where quality is at the heart of our approach. The common thread that unites them is the pride of working for the inventor of the Belgian praline and the feeling of belonging to Belgium, cradle of the unique know-how of chocolate.
