The Original Seashells. Since 1958.

About us

We can't tell you everything about us, but we can give you a taste. Guylian has been sharing its wonders with the world since Guy and Liliane began crafting fine Belgian chocolate in 1958. Since then, our artisanal chocolate creations have captured gazes, charmed tastebuds, and stirred imaginations. Some say it comes down to our seashell’s irresistible praliné filling made from in-house roasted hazelnuts. Others say it’s the inspiring shapes and delicate marbling. We believe it’s the sense of delight evoked by our chocolate that makes every occasion feel like a special occasion. What do you say?

    Guylian: proud partner of Fairbruary 💚 This Fairbruary, we’re joining forces with Fairtrade Belgium to highlight the importance of fair trade. At Guylian, we believe every piece of chocolate should not only be a moment of indulgence but also a step towards a fairer world. That’s why we’ve been using 100% Fairtrade cocoa since 2022, reflecting our long-term commitment to ethical sourcing.   What does this mean? ✔️ Cocoa farmers benefit from fair trading conditions and opportunities to enhance their livelihoods. ✔️ Local communities benefit from investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure. ✔️ Supporting sustainable farming practices helps safeguard the future of cocoa production.   With every bite of Guylian, you’re supporting a more ethical and sustainable future for cocoa farming communities.

  • Vandaag in Het Nieuwsblad: “Ik zou niet twijfelen over welke ik zou kopen”   In een blinde smaaktest proefde toppatissier Joost Arijs zes soorten zeevruchtenpralines. Vijf huismerken en Guylian als referentiepunt. Zijn conclusie? Guylian kwam als beste uit de test.   Wat maakt het verschil?   🤎 Het meeste praliné (65%) en een mooi dun afgewerkte chocolade, waardoor je genoeg vulling hebt 🤎 De mooist afgewerkte Zeevruchten, zonder luchtbellen. 🤎 Een crunch in de praliné en een toets van hazelnootjes.   "Ik zou niet twijfelen over welke ik zou kopen," aldus Arijs. De kwaliteit en afwerking van Guylian zetten zich duidelijk af tegen de huismerken. Hoewel goedkoper soms aantrekkelijk lijkt, blijft echte smaak en vakmanschap doorslaggevend.   Een prachtige erkenning voor het vakmanschap en de toewijding van iedereen bij Guylian, en in het bijzonder onze productiemedewerkers. Hun zorg, precisie en passie voor chocolade zorgen ervoor dat we onze hoogwaardige kwaliteit en verfijnde smaak elke dag opnieuw kunnen nastreven. Bedankt!   #Guylian #Zeevruchtenpralines #BelgischeChocolade #Vakmanschap #Kwaliteit Bron: https://lnkd.in/eG8nSm6U
