Product Information

Côte d'Or. Côte d'Or is one of the oldest Belgian chocolate brands founded in 1883 by Charles Neuhaus. Its name meaning ‘Gold Coast' refers to Ghana where it sources its cocoa beans. Côte d'Or is known for its wide selection of chocolates like bars, truffles, pralines, and spreads. Its most popular product is the Chokotoff, a chocolate-covered toffee bar. Other variations include Les Bouchées pralines, dark chocolate bars, and chocolate with flavors like hazelnut and salted caramel. Guylian actively participates in two Belgian chocolate festivals and events to showcase their products given the brand's status as a top national chocolate maker. These are the Brussels Chocolate Week and Blankenberge Chocolate Festival. Yes, Guylian pursues several sustainability initiatives spanning fair trade sourcing to recycling with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of chocolate production. A key focus is obtaining cocoa beans exclusively from fair trade certified sources. Guylian commits to paying fair minimum pricing to cooperatives for sustainably grown cocoa which supports farmer livelihoods. The company also invests in communities through the fair trade premium to facilitate training and farming improvements. Guylian's pledge to use 100% fair trade cocoa promotes equity in the cocoa supply chain. Guylian chocolates stand out due to the premium quality ingredients used across their product range, like the signature seashell pralines, chocolate bars and truffles. At the heart of all Guylian chocolates is Belgian couverture chocolate made from 100% pure cocoa butter according to traditional processes. For the outer shell, Guylian uses either milk, white or dark Belgian chocolate of the finest grade to achieve a flawlessly smooth texture and taste. The chocolate's cocoa butter content enables it to melt luxuriously on the palate. For fillings, the principal ingredient is hazelnut praline made exclusively by Guylian using hand selected Mediterranean hazelnuts. These nuts are slowly roasted in small batches in copper kettles to enrich their flavour before being combined with Belgian chocolate. The resulting hazelnut praline delivers an utterly creamy and indulgent tasting experience. It forms the basis of fillings across assortments from iconic praline seashells to specialty truffles and chocolate seahorses. Guylian's master chocolatiers carefully select complementary ingredients to enhance each product's taste and texture. For instance, the Opus chocolates showcase exotic fruit flavours like pear and mango alongside praline and truffle creams. a b c "Guylian reaches 80 million euro turnover, will invest a lot".

This has made the product more popular with the masses because of its affordability and accessibility. The only problem with Guylian truffles is that there’s no variety in their products when it comes to truffles. Truffle flavors come in only 3 flavors, and these are very common in the truffle world. It’s understandable, though since Guylian focuses more on pralines and other chocolate products. Whitehead, Matt (2019-09-30). "Guylian to expand in the UAE". Retail & Leisure International . Retrieved 2020-05-23. The origins of Guylian chocolate lie in the Belgian town of Sint-Niklaas where Guy Foubert, born in 1938, first honed his chocolate making skills. After training at a prestigious confectionery school, the young artisan chocolatier began selling his handcrafted pralines at local markets. This early success led him to perfect his recipe and establish the Guylian brand in 1958 by amalgamating his first name with that of his wife Liliane. Their shared passion for chocolate inspired the company name and pioneering products. A key milestone came in 1967 when Liliane designed the first chocolate seashells following a holiday to the Belgian seaside. She devised the decorative seashell shapes while Guy developed the indulgent hazelnut praline filling, now Guylian's signature taste. This innovation propelled Guylian's growth and popularity worldwide. Proud of the road I walked" – Steven Candries leaves Guylian after 28 years". The Moodie Davitt Report. 2019-06-25 .
