Godiva Chocolate History

Where did it all begin? In Brussels, Belgium in 1926.

The company was established by Joseph Draps, expert chocolatier, to sell his line of fine chocolates.

Why name his company after the legendary figure? He felt her singular spirit symbolized his superior chocolates.

Godiva galloped on to the scene and, like the lady, made quite a lasting impression.

The company expanded to Paris in 1958, then the UK, Italy and Germany. Finally arriving in the United States in 1966.

Now in exclusive stores in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Turkey.

Specialty Chocolates

The famous name may draw in the customers. But the naked truth is it's the premium ingredients that keep them coming back.

Taste trumps.

The Godiva chocolatiers use mainly fine flavor cocoa beans to make their dark and milk chocolate.

Heavy cream, butter, first quality nuts, specially dried fruits, natural raspberry and cherry juice are used in the fillings according to the company's web site.

Combine these gourmet elements with the chocolatier's skill and what do you get?

A delicious piece of fine chocolate in the Belgian tradition.

Like solid milk, white or dark chocolates, or filled with ganache, caramel, nuts or fruits.

Or terrific truffles with ice cream flavored centers, key lime or liqueur.

You can't stay at the top if your product is a flop.
