Quite simply, Van Coillie is the best of the best.

After training at the world-famous Belgian Institute ‘COOVI’ in Anderlecht Mr Van Coillie obtained his diploma with honours as a confectioner, specialising in chocolate. He perfected his skills in Switzerland and France learning from some of the best confectioners the world has to offer, experiencing many different techniques and ideas along the way.

It was in 1976, when he was 40 years old, that he decided that he was ready to start up his own business. He sold all his worldly possessions and dedicated his life to chocolate. Right from the start, his drive was to become the best in this business, using only the finest quality ingredients and all of his vast experience to create taste sensations that would be admired by all. He decided that only the finest cocoa butter, freshest fruit and real cream should be used and set about creating flavours and combinations that would delight the pallet.

Today, Van Coillie is thriving, now under the expert supervision of his grandson Alexandre, with over twenty highly skilled employees and a reputation second to none. Their dedication and passion has taken them to the very top.
