Neuhaus Chocolates
In 1857 Jean Neuhaus opened a pharmacy in the prestigious Queen’s Gallery. To delight his customers, Jean Neuhaus covered his medicines in a layer of fine chocolate. In 1912, his grandson evolved this into the Belgian praline as we know it today. Chocolate filled with delight instead of medicine.
