Sweet Belgian Chocolates

Did you know Belgium chocolates are also called "Belgian Pralines"? Well I didn't, not until I did some digging up on it since after the day a friend of mine Suituapui gave it to me as a gift. The reason I went to find more info on it? Well, the chocolate tastes exquisite and I wanted to know what made it special!

Guylian Belgian Chocolates

Belgian chocolates are a unique in the sense that they have a hard shell (called pralines by the Belgium makers) which can be filled with a variety of fillings ranging from flavored nougats to creams such as coffee, hazelnut or fruit. In a nutshell (pun intended), they nearly always contain a hard chocolate shell with a softer, sometimes liquid filling.

Something I found off the internet which interested me: 


Sourced from wisegeek.com:   

In the chocolate making process, the cocoa beans are ground and mixed with sugar and cocoa butter and then smoothed out through tempering (careful addition of heat). Most chocolate companies receive their chocolate in solid form, which means it must be reheated in order to be usable. Belgian chocolate companies often receive their couverteur  (a special version of chocolate) in heated tanker trucks soon after the tempering process. Because the chocolate has not cooled, it retains much more of the aroma than the cooled varieties.


Yummy Belgian Chocs!

These chocolates may be pricier than your average chocolate bar, but nothing beats the great taste and knowing that the made in Belgium tag guarantees an above average quality chocolates! Check out how they look like below, Guylian even gave each piece a cool name!

Chocs in limited quantity

We have an assortment of pretty cool names which I took the liberty to list it down just because it was so unique, a mix of classical music and chocolate fillings. 

Massenet Manon - Chocomousse
Verdi Aida - Smooth Truffle Filling
Bach Toggata And Fugue - Gianduja
Puccini Madame Butterfly - Creme Orange Cream
Beethoven Moonlight Sonata - Creme Cappucino Cream
Donizetti Daughter Of The Regimen - Noisette Praline Roasted Hazelnut
Gounud Romeo And Juliet - Nougat-Praline
Mozart The Magic Flute - Noisette-Cappucino Roasted Hazelnut

  9. Liao lor... Now you have developed a taste for expensive chocolates...all the cheap ones will never be good enough for you lor!!!

    In a way good also, just don't buy any of the cheap ones...and once in a while, pamper yourself with some really good chocs - say to reward yourself when you've done something good. Can be self-motivating! LOL!!!
