Essentials about the Choco-Story Brussels in brief
Belgium is known far beyond its borders for its exquisite chocolates and chocolates. A visit to Choco-Story Brussels is therefore an absolute must for all chocolate lovers on a trip to the Belgian capital. Choco-Story takes visitors on a voyage of discovery through the world of chocolate, from the cultivation of cocoa beans to the processing of the beans and the production of chocolates and pralines. Of course, this chocolate temple also offers demonstrations and tastings. And a museum store with all kinds of goodies is of course not missing.
The Choco-Story Brussels exhibition
In the Choco-Story Brussels, visitors are immersed in the history and processing of chocolate. The exhibition provides information about the beginning of chocolate consumption in the empires of the Aztecs and the Maya more than 5,000 years ago, takes visitors on board the ship of the conquistador Cortès, who brought the cocoa beans to Europe, shows how the brown gold was celebrated at the French royal court in the 17th century and how it was finally shaped into pralines in Belgium at the beginning of the 20th century.
Of course, a chocolate museum must not be without demonstrations and tastings. A highlight of Choco-Story Brussels is the demonstration by a real Maître Chocolatier, during which you will be initiated into the secrets of traditional chocolate and praline production. And, of course, you can’t leave Choco-Story without tasting the delightful confections. Those who find it difficult to leave this temple of chocolate can stock up on various treats in the museum store.
