About us

Belgian Delights is a family-owned chocolate manufacturer at Molendinar on the Gold Coast, run by Belgian-born and trained chocolatiers. It's a craft that's been carried through three generations of our family, and we've brought it here. We make our own couverture from scratch, which very few Australian manufacturers do. That couverture goes into everything we produce: napolitains, moulded bars, pralines, truffles, gift boxes, and custom lines for trade and retail clients across Australia, under our Belgian Delights, Queensland Chocolate and Local Cocoa brands. We're a small team. There's no production line you disappear into here, you'll see your work in the finished box.
