Master Chocolatier
Erik Goossens

Located in Antwerp, Goossens Chocolatier was founded in 1955 by Rene Goossens. After completing his studies, he specialised in several chocolate-making activities in Switzerland and France. Rene Goossens has acquired outstanding reputation in the world of chocolate. He is a honorary member of the Confrérie des Chocolatiers de France, and serving as the National President of the Federation of Belgian Confectioners from 1977 till 1989.

 

In 1991, his son, Erik Goossens took the helm at Goossens Chocolatier. He specialised his skills by Bernard Callebaut in Canada, Barry Callebaut in Belgium, ZDS Solingen in Germany and Ecole Gastronomique Bellouet in Paris, France. Erik Goossens has one goal, making the highest quality chocolates possible. His philosophy resulted in happy clients such as presidents, royalty and ambassadors around the globe. Erik is member of the jury for the famous Belgian “Chocolaterie Awards” contest.

Our chocolates are hand-made in our own atelier where we use only the finest origin chocolates and raw materials, crafted with passion and heritage.

 

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

Chocolaterie Goossens’ policy of quality is simple, but demonstrates our pride and confidence in our products: we do not use vegetable oils, animal fats, or artificial additives in order to reduce costs or extend shelf life of our chocolates. This is what makes Goossens chocolates so outstanding.

OUR SIGNATURE PRODUCTS
Ganache_Sparkling Hearts_01
Sparkling Hearts

This series of hearts with facets like a cut diamond is quite unique. Three thin ultra crispy layers of chocolate envelop a soft core with a surprising combination of flavours - simply sensational!

Our Signature_Diamond
The Diamond

A sweet crispy outer layer and a bittersweet champagne truffle filling on the inside. What make this chocolate so unique are the sugar crystals that twinkle like a real brilliant under halogen light. This effect is only obtained after an extremely delicate time-consuming procedure that is unique in the world.

Our Signature_Rubens
Rubens Palette

Walnut paste in the shape of a painter's pallet to honor the great flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens.

Our Signature_Goossens
Goossens - The Classic

The preferred chocolate if you are looking for softness and harmony. This creamy ganache contains a roasted almond for that crunchy touch.

Our Signature_Star
Star

The European star was created when Belgium first became a member of the European Union. This patented shape has a light truffle filling, flavoured with ground walnuts.

Our Signature_TNT
TNT Blue

The blue tiles of a famous Antwerp fountain in front of the Museum of Fine Arts inspired us to design this eccentric chocolate, which literally explodes in your mouth due to its CO2 effect. The mysterious filling with a hint of lemon and eucalyptus is enrobed with a grand cru chocolate made from Criollo beans, known to be the best in the world.

Our Signature_Ginger
Ginger

This is a ganache with a very strong and bitter African cocoa flavour. The ingredients are based upon oriental wisdom and herbal flavours. They stimulate the blood circulation and may arouse your lusts.

Our Signature_Antverpia A
Antverpia A

In 1575, Hendrik van den Keere made this unique print stamp A. Plantin printed those beautiful letters on today's oldest remaining print press in the world. In that spirit Goossens switched craftmanship and history into a wonderfully new chocolate full of tickling spices.

Our Signature_Antwerp Hands
Antwerp Hands

In May 1982, Rene Goossens proudly presented this creation, the 'Antwerp hands'. These chocolates with almond paste and the great Antwerp Herb Liquor "Elixir d'Anvers" made the cover of every newspaper and became the best known Antwerp chocolates. The chocolate artisan has made this Antwerp hands into a 'symbol of friendship and hospitality'.
