A tasty travel into the world of chocolate

A unique immersive experience in the fabulous world of cocoa and chocolate. With the help of an audio guide, deep into this gourmet universe, walk through a Mayan temple, board Cortes' ship and discover how cocoa is grown in tropical countries and transformed into chocolate in Europe. The icing on the cake: a demonstration of how pralines are made at the end of the tour. Take a dive in the universe of cocoa and chocolate, pass a Maya temple where cocoa beans have been consumed 5000 years ago, step aboard the boat of Cortez who imported the cocoa beans in Europe; discover how chocolate was being used at the French Court in the 17th Century and afterwards how the “praline” was crafted beginning of the 20th Century in Belgium. The cocoa culture and its transformation won’t have any secrets left for you. Demonstration, tasting and audio guide are included in the visit. More than 600 objects are on display at the Choco Story Brussels museum. It's a magnificent collection that shows how cocoa was consumed by the Mayans, and how a sweeter beverage was consumed at the Spanish and French Courts. You will then discover how cocoa is grown in tropical countries and how it is transformed into chocolate in Europe. Finally, you'll learn how we sublimate this chocolate in Belgium through the creation of our delicious handmade pralines.
