About Us

Since 1998 we have been committed to handcraft pralines and truffles according to the Belgian tradition. Our creations are not imported, but instead are made in Colorado week by week, giving the chocolate lover an ultimately fresh product !

It is important to know that all of our products are made with real Belgian Chocolate. Although the laws in Europe and Belgium, which is part of the European Union, allow chocolate manufacturers to replace up to 5 % of the cocoa butter by vegetable oils (eg. oil from coconut, palm kernel, etc.) and still call the product chocolate. This is done to lower the price of the end-product but we believe it affects also the quality and definitely the taste of the chocolate. Therefore, we only use pure chocolate with no substitutes. Our top-of-the-line chocolate is made by a well respected company in Belgium, namely by Barry Callebaut Belgium (except for the sugar free and organic, which comes from other Barry Callebaut plants) and imported to the US. Please review the Chocolate Bars on the Belvedere Products page for more details on bulk chocolate products. 

All Belvedere products are manufactured according to the Belgian tradition and like it is taught in the chocolate school our chocolatier attended in Bruges, Belgium, our previous hometown. We would like to emphasize that, unlike some of the imported Belgian chocolates and products of other chocolatiers, we DO NOT use preservatives, colorings or artificial additives and, absolutely no trans fats (hydrogenated fat) !   Also our factory is peanut free, when allergies are a concern. Perhaps a detail to some who read this, but our dark chocolate is lactose free: more than 10 pralines/truffles of our assortment are vegan. Fillings and centers are made from scratch, always with fresh dairy products and most of all are well balanced, so that your pallet isn’t affected with an overwhelming after taste. Like a delicious wine, it should fade away as you enjoy the flavors.
