ENTER THE WORLD OF NEUHAUS

Jean Neuhaus settles in Brussels and opens a pharmacy in the prestigious “Galerie de la Reine”. He covers his medicines in a layer of chocolate to make them more palatable.

1857

Louise Agostini, Jean Neuhaus Jr’s wife, designs an elegant gift box in which the chocolates are attractively presented. This box, called the “ballotin”, becomes the must-have gift.

creating the first filled chocolate. He calls it “praline”, which becomes an immediate success !

Neuhaus introduces the “Caprice” and “Tentation” during the World Exhibition in Brussels – refined filled chocolates with our exclusive nougatine, filled by hand with cream or ganache. They remain the Neuhaus icons today.

Neuhaus undergoes a transformation. Its boutiques are given a splendid new look, with a distinctive colour palette that includes warm coral and elegant chestnut brown.

THE BEST INGREDIENTS Only the best ingredients are used in our recipes. All ingredients are judiciously selected according to their origin, quality and taste. For instance, we use almonds from Faro (Portugal) or from California depending on whether or not they are to be roasted and depending on the recipes in which they will be used. To this day, this task is handled by our “Master Roaster” who rigorously oversees the roasting process to bring out the full bouquet of aromas. For its chocolate, Neuhaus always selects the best harvests from a variety of different origins, such as chocolate from Peru and Java.

CONTINUOUS INNOVATION Neuhaus creates delicious chocolates inspired by a long standing tradition since 1857. The company owes its success to its know-how that is the culmination of tradition, innovation and uncompromising quality. The dynamism of Neuhaus is also the result of our unrelenting quest to restyle and update our praline ranges and to come up with new creations aimed at offering only the very best chocolates.
