They originally sold pharmaceutical confectionery in the Saint-Hubert royal galleries in Brussels. As inventors of the praline and the famous ballotin, the Neuhaus family created a legacy of timeless classics that we still enjoy nowadays.

Haute gastronomie and luxury chocolate

The collection Neuhaus World’s Top Chefs is born from the collaboration between the House Neuhaus and nine prestigious chefs of pastry chefs and chocolatiers of international renown, who each created a unique praline for this collection of gourmet gems. Each praline is the result of a chef’s tasty souvenir and the expertise of the Neuhaus’ Master Chocolatier. The result is a collection of nine amazing pralines, with combinations of flavor that thrill the most discerning palate with pure pleasure.
This alliance, which brings together haute gastronomie and luxury chocolate, produces a subtle blend of flavors such as Almonds, Hazelnuts, Coconut, the Spéculoos, Lemon, Green Tea, Coffee or Strawberry which perfectly matches the intensity of dark chocolate or the sweetness of milk chocolate. The 27 exceptional pralines are gathered in a luxury box.
