Vanparys Information

Vanparys is a Belgian manufacturer of confectionery and chocolate specialties with over 125 year of history. At the core of Vanparys collection are the original dragées - sugar coated almonds and chocolates in a spectacular range of colours. The expertise expands to a wide array of chocolate-covered gourmet delights – coated nuts, fruits and coffee beans and cake decorations to accompany any celebration, any time of the year. The confectionery and chocolaterie Vanparys began as a family business founded in 1889 by Felix Vanparys, near the fashionable Sablon neighbourhood in the heart of Brussels. The recipe and preparation of Felix’s original dragees are still attentively followed… with rich Belgian chocolate, or the finest selection of almonds coated with a thin layer of sugar, all carefully prepared in traditional, rotating copper vats, at precise temperatures, at an exact number of revolutions. You are invited to step inside the world of Vanparys chocolates and confectioneries – a world of indulgence, imagination, tradition and quality. A place to return to again and again to celebrate life’s events – large or small… any occasion that calls for a moment of pleasure.
