When I went to Belgium, I stayed there for about 5 days and I had a box of chocolate everyday from each famous chocolatier. It was divine!
Which was your favourite chocolate? 🤤
@@DWFood I can only pick one? That’s not fair, you know hahaha. Love the channel!
Now that’s a plan.
Thank you 😄
Hello
I love that guy's dialect of French, none of those confusing soixante-dixes and quatre-vingt-dixes.
This video reminded me of my days working at Leonidas in Toronto. My boss was Belgian and she spoke several languages, which amazed me because I could hardly speak two languages! After trying Belgian chocolate, I realized how crappy Hershey bars were.
@@priyeshpv I wish! Haha!
That sounds like a delicious but dangerous job… I don’t think I could be around those ‘manon blancs’ all day without going home with indigestion. 😄 I already find it tough to simply walk through a certain shopping street here in Antwerp, where just about every other house is a chocolate store.
@@Wim2600 Oh yes, I remember the Manon Blancs - only the Belgians can make a nice whipped cream filling like that! :) My favourite were the Poesie.
@@ThePoorStudent Right… I know that one… praline & ganache filling with a hint of Cointreau… good choice! ☺️
To be honest after having ANY European Chocolate you realize Hersheys is an abomination
This channel is underrated! Very well shot and informative!
Thanks a lot for watching and your positive feedback, Wes! 🙂
This channel is DW. It has been around since the TV days. DW have always been informative.
DW is my passport to Europe, I really enjoy all of your content. Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoy it!
I’m eating Belgian seashell chocolates right now while watching this. Makes it even more enjoyable
Delicious! Enjoy😜
I am really loving these (newly discovered) DW Food videos!! Absolutely fantastic to have found this channel!!! Eine großen danke!!
I had the pleasure to work in my old company's Brussel's office for two weeks, twice. As an American, this was so great and I loved the daily chocolate boxes that were always kept full by the office staff. Unlimited exquisite fine dark chocolate just sitting out, for the taking. LOVED working there! :-)
Awesome! Thank you for visiting. Chocolate is certainly a hot topic for us 😁
Definitely the best chocolate next to the Swiss. The fine grind makes it super smooth.
This is my favourite channel. Bitte, bitte keep up the great content! Loving it here in the UK!
Thank you very much Paul!
I absolutely love this channel!
We love you too!
Great interview...
This is the most underrated and best channels on UA-cam but one day it will come to fruit. Sometimes it is about luck....thanks DW. I will share.
Thank you Peter! We appreciate it!🙂
agreed
super love this
wow! now i want to visit Belgium and visit all the chocolatier ☕🍫
Excellent. Chapeaux! Vivre Le Chocolat!
Belgian pralines have amazing variety. I bought 3 boxes in Antwerp!
Chocolates nd ice cream is the World tasty food in my feeling
Yeah I went there on a school trip and my family thought I would bring them back choclate. Well they got swiss chocolate from the boat lol. It's expensive. I could hardly even buy any but was amazing.
Swiss Chocolate: our chocolates are famous globally
Belgian Chocolate: *allow us to introduce ourselves...*
I have to say I much prefer the swiss.
Swiss chocolate is better.
@@flavioc5389 Nope, nope, nope. =p
Belgians pralines are god-tier
Always divine 😀
I love it when they do investigative journalism on chocolate in Ivory Coast and still celebrate these 'chocolatiers'
They get their stuff from Central America. There are a lot of responsible farms, especially in Costa Rica.
1:26 he actually says he makes pralines every day and chocolates chocolates every day instead of saying he makes chocolates every day twice
I love chocolate especially the Belgian kind!
Me too! Have you tried Godiva? 🇧🇪🍫 and I even have some Belgian friends 😂
@@JM_RedCoat I love Godiva
@@fashiondiva99 Cool me too! It's very nice 👌
Belgian Chocolate so Delicious
I ever try
🤤 🤤
COOL !!!!!!
Oh my....
How is the name of the chocolatier that explains the trips and how he search different flavours?
How did they first introduce (and now highly celebrated) chocolate culture to Belgian and other European countries, knowing the fact that Chocolate tree is not native to the region? I think they share the similiar history to the coffee bean and European coffee culture
It was first imported to Belgium when the region was conquered by spain.
Wooo so nice igive you full suport 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Thanks for coming🙂
I hope to go to Belgium in one day inshallah and try all kinds of Chocolate 😢😢😢
i work offshore but quit soon. i want to produce chocolate may you advice me pls
I Wish i Could Study Making Chocolates
Belgians make the best chocolate IMO. Better than the Swiss!
I disagree I much prefer the Swiss. If you ever get the chance to try Läderach chocolate it's the best by miles for me
@@Banjomike97 I agree even though I didn't try both of them and never visited Europe.
People have their opinions so either one is good and also have their own reasons to why they prefer that chocolate over the other
@@Banjomike97 I feel like Switzerland has the best chocolate bars while Belgium has the best pralines
One of the guys almost sounds like he has a Portuguese thing going on in his french
He has the flemish accent from north of belgium which is dutch speaking
Tried some Delafaille yesterday, some of them had a weird chemical taste.
Intéressant : Blonndeel informe que le chocolat c'est très simple, pas compliqué. Van Vender informe qu'il y a peut-être un secret en Belgique...
Conclusion : la Belgique c'est créé un nom dans le monde du chocolat par la qualité de ses confiseurs et surtout par son histoire coloniale et sanguinaire en Afrique qui lui a donné un avantage sur le marché.
Le Congo n'a jamais été un fournisseur important de cacao.
Historiquement la majorité venait d'Amérique du Sud avant d'être acclimaté en Afrique mais pas au Congo.
La grande majorité du Cacao venait tout comme aujourd'hui de la côte Sud de l'Afrique de l'Ouest notamment Côte d'Ivoire et Ghana.
Cette région était d'ailleurs autrefois appelée "Côte de l'or" par les occidentaux.
D'où le nom de la fameuse marque Belge de chocolat côte d'or :)
Le chocolat belge n'a que peu à voir avec le Congo et les crimes et exactions réalisés durant la période coloniale contrairement au caoutchouc par exemple.
Best profession for chocolate lover
Cadbury milk chocolate is terrible but any Swiss or Belgium milk chocolate is amazing.
I highly respect both the Swiss and Belgians, but the best milk chocolate you find in Norway, with the taste of Scandinavian summer grass and midnight sun. The other types of chocolate they can keep as theirs, but we do the milk one best. In my opinion. 🙂
So good!
Buy cocoa for peanuts from South America, multiply the price by 1000: voilà
Or africa .. poor labour workers
woody harrolson is belgium??
I was wonder why they name belgian chocolate. Chocolate tree event didnt grow there.
Well, what is called "praline" in French is simply called "chocolate" in English. Of course the coca comes from somewhere else.
And where does the cacao come from?
Mainly from the Ivory Coast.

Where to find Belgium chocolates in India
If there's Leonidas in your city or you can order online
This is what actual chocolate looks like, not that crap in American supermarkets like Hershey or any of the many other trash brands. And that even includes Godiva and Lindt these days.
The only Hershey product I enjoy is Reese's peanut butter cups. Their chocolate tastes awful.
@@pikachuchujelly7628 It cannot even legally be called chocolate in parts of the world because of how cheapened down the ingredients are
It cliche
Every country has good chocolate
I went to Belgium and everybody says you must try belgian fries ,the best in the world
I eats ,it was ok ,not best
And honestly i put mayo already to my fries for long time before i found out that its popular in Belgium
I live in UK and when i put mayo to fries ,almost everybody thinks its weird...
The fries are in the culture of the Belgium
💰❤
So, are Belgian chocolates better than Swiss?
3:01 What? Belgians call 70 septente? Why didn't they tell the French about this invention? While we're at it mes amis why not call 80 huitante, and 90 neufante?
90 is nonante
@@jenskimpe3662 Indeed, and in Switzerland in some French cantons they say huitante for quatre-vingt... So, en resumé, in Belgium: septante et nonante, en Suisse: huitante, simple non? F.ex. in B. we had the old advertisement: Tintin is for children from sept à septante sept ans ;-) And the french do laugh with us because of that. But really 77 = septante sept or soixante dixsept? Ya pas photo!
Mooks... DCN
wow I really do not believe, you liked and watched my cooking movies, thank you dear friend.
It would be interesting to see what the farmers think of the end product any Belgian videos of that giving it to the people that farm?
u forgot about the workers who picked and growed the cocoa plants in africa woth their hard labor and low pay lol
They don't make chocolate tho, that's like saying Audi is made in China because they got their Steel from over there
why you didn't wear face mask during covid
first
Why were those flemish speakers speaking in french? It's DW not a french channel no?
They Speak French?
Yes! Belgium has three official languages: French, Dutch (Flemish) and German 🤓 🇧🇪
They should wear masks while working on the chocolates.. the saliva particles... eww
Os africanos estão perdendo dinheiro...
Weird that this was done in French... Would've been better if it was done in Flemish
In Brussels most people speak French.
two words : Congo Hands
Belgian chocolate is lovely but the Swiss is the best
Shots fired :D
Tell the people why you make and eat chocolate hands? Tell the people about how Belgium went to Africa!
A legend from the Middle Ages regarding Antwerp's foundation.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg Tell the truth and stop with the deflection!
@@TheOriginalFrankMatthews
That's the truth.
I encourage you to educate yourself more on "Antwerp's hands" before spouting more nonsense.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg seems you need to do a little more research
@@TheOriginalFrankMatthews
Says the one who willingly spread lies.
I love when DW put its leftism aside.
Oh, I bet everything is leftist to a typical American like you.
these chocolates are way overrated.
Belgian chocolate joke ,,,they dont have Cocoa threes,,,they just import from Africa etc,,,n give label ...
what a bullshite !!!!😄
Well, the chocolates are made in Belgium and the chocolate too. But the beans are imported from other countries like Ivory Coast for example.
If you follow that kind of logic, there wouldn't be German cars because parts of it have been made in other countries.
Swiss and German chocolate is much better !
