Belgium is famous around the world for its chocolate and in particular, its invention of the praline. There are more artisanal chocolatiers in Belgium than any other country in the world. The Chocolate Corner at the Belgian Pavilion is a very special partnership between Barry Callebaut, the world’s leading supplier of high-quality cocoa and chocolate, and the world-renowned chocolate houses Godiva, Guylian and Neuhaus.
The stand promises to be a feast for both the eyes and taste buds, offering an insight into every aspect of chocolate production from the raw ingredients to the highly refined praline, from internationally renowned brand to small local artisan.
The World Expo opened on 1 May 2010 and runs until 31 October 2010. The first demonstrations will be conducted by chocolatiers Philippe Vancayseele from Barry Callebaut, Olivier Demol from Neuhaus and Thierry Muret from Godiva.
