I got this today when I went to see this fabulous apartment, big rooms, very nice modern kitchen a huge balcony, the works, (but on the 4th floor and without an elevator in the building, waaaaaaaaah) Just to give you an idea, this small box with 18 pieces of pralines, costs 12.50 euros. the same price at Leonidas brings you about half a kilo or more of pralines. whew.
this came with the literature in the box. hehe
Jean Neuhaus arrived from Switzerland in 1857 and opened a store in the Galerie de la Reine in Brussels.
The chocolate store grew within the family hands and in 1912, Jean Neuhaus, the grandson of the founder, created the first bite-sized filled chocolate and named it “praline”. Fame followed!
His wife, a few years later invented the “ballotin” the luxury box to wrap the pralines carefully.
As a “Créateur Chocolatier”, Neuhaus continues to develop new recipes, shapes, flavours with full respect of quality and 150 years of tradition.
