Gudrun Luxury Belgian Chocolates in Gift Bag and Box 520g

Product Information

The Gudrun couverture (couverture is very high quality chocolate with extra cocoa butter used for enrobing, molding and dipping) is made from specially selected cocoa beans from Sao Tome, an island nation in West Africa renowned for the quality and aromatic taste of its cocoa beans. If such an occasion arises we will make every effort to replace the item with a suitable alternative. The collection you are about to discover was created around a central theme; the aim for the Gudrun chocolatiers was to demonstrate their mastery by finding the perfect balance between contrasts, whether they be contrasting tastes or textures. If you keep them in an ambient temperature below 72°F (21°C), there is no need to refrigerate your chocolates if they will be eaten within three weeks.

Costco has a ton of different chocolates and treats during the holiday season – walking down the holiday aisles can be a little bit overwhelming! The crispy base nicely balances the softness of the cream, while white chocolate softens the coffee taste. Pralines (pronounced prah-leen in Belgium), cocoa powdered truffles and even the ballotin (a box that was specially designed to protect individual chocolate pieces) were created and perfected by Belgian chocolatiers in the 20th century and have since conquered the world. Other reasons include concerns about hygiene and safety, and the mistaken belief that these products are of inferior quality.

Three chocolates contain 230 calories, 15 grams of fat, 21 grams of carbohydrates, two grams of protein, 20 mg of sodium, 20 grams of sugar and two gram of fibre. Whenever possible they’re made from materials that are biodegradable, recycled or 100% recyclable, ready to re-join the circular economy once you’ve enjoyed what’s inside. This principle requires a shift in the mindset of both food companies and consumers, as the latter often associates by-products with waste or inferior raw materials, which is not the case when correctly applied,” explains Gus Verhaeghe, Innovation Manager at Flanders’ FOOD. Spice: Spicy white chocolate cream with a signature blend of four spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, allspice) dipped in milk chocolate.

This year we will continue to bring you many wonderful chocolate treasures, beginning with this month's collection of scrumptious chocolate treats. Meanwhile, Gudrun has developed a roadmap through which it intends to work toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Arabica: A rich milk chocolate shell conceals an aromatic dark chocolate ganache infused with a signature roast of Arabica coffee. The first truffles were made from scraps left over from cutting dipped chocolates into uniform shapes. Enjoy a truly refined indulgence and treat yourself or your loved ones to a genuine connoisseur's experience. If we want to continue to enjoy chocolates, we have to find ways to treat the planet with more respect.
