Belgium will always be associated with chocolate as the country continues to be the premier destination for the cocoa sweet. Many people consider Belgian chocolates as some of the best in the world and many people travel to Brussels just to try the world-class food before they travel to other destinations in Europe.
The Secretes to Quality Belgian Chocolates
There’s actually no secret to why Belgian chocolates are considered to be the world’s best. Chocolate makers in Belgium only use the finest ingredients to ensure the quality flavor of each chocolate. But ingredients are only part of quality control for the sweet. Even with the invention of modern technology to ease the production of chocolates, many makers still rely on the customary techniques to maintain its quality.
Museums to Enjoy Chocolates
Tourists are highly encouraged to visit chocolate museums when in Belgium. They can provide visitors with a history of the chocolates, especially on controlling its taste and quality.
One of the most popular is the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate in Brussels. The museum features extensive history on chocolate making in the country. Tourists can learn from the guide and the museum itself on how chocolates are formed and molded into perfection.
Another popular museum to consider visiting is “Choco-Story – The Chocolate Museum in Bruges”. It’s not your typical museum because you’ll witness actual demonstration on how chocolates are made. The museum is also one of the top attractions in Bruges because tourists can try taste a selection of chocolate at the end of the tour.





The chocolate makers in Belgium they still making chocolates in small shops with traditional techniques. That’s why the chocolates there are delicious and famous!
I have to say Switzerland makes pretty good chocolate too, don’t forget them!
But you are right, Jeff de Bruges or Leonidas have some really great Belgian chocolate.
belgium chocolate is so famous not only for its incredible taste, but far more importnant fot the way thet they choose to demostrate it, so unique and artistic. It worth it to visit the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate, if you ever be in Brussels.
Wonderful post. I would really like to go to a chocolate museum to get some insights on the history of chocolate. But, the best will always be eating chocolate and is one of the sweetest things to enjoy in life. There is still so much chocolate to be tasted.
