Côte d'Or, the Belgian chocolate brand

Côte d'Or is one of the most well-known and beloved chocolate brands in Belgium and beyond. Founded in 1883 by Charles Neuhaus, it has since become a symbol of Belgian chocolate expertise. The brand is renowned for its rich and intense chocolate flavours, often associated with quality and craftsmanship. Côte d'Or offers a wide range of products, including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, pralines, filled chocolate bars, and other treats. Some of their popular products are milk chocolate and hazelnut bars, as well as the famous "Bouchées," small-filled chocolates.

The name Côte d'Or refers to the Gold Coast (modern-day Ghana), where the brand originally sourced its cocoa beans. The brand's logo, an elephant, is also a recognizable symbol representing strength and durability.
