Dolfin’s Master Chocolatiers perfectly marry pure cocoa butter chocolate with natural ingredients carefully selected from across the world. The result: indulgent, innovative and elegant creations, for the tasting pleasure of gourmet food lovers.
In 2007, Jean-Jacques de Gruben, unconditional lover of Belgian chocolate, took up the reins of the Dolfin Chocolaterie. He has continued and strengthened this tradition of excellence with the development of new recipes and widening the international distribution network.
