Belgian Praline Chocolate · Ghent
Belgian praline: a shell of dark or milk couverture chocolate encasing a filling of butter ganache, gianduja or praliné cream, made by Ghent chocolatiers including Joost Arijs patisserie on the Vlaanderenstraat.
The Belgian praline was invented in Brussels in 1912 by Jean Neuhaus, who created the first filled chocolate shell at his pharmacy. The technology spread to Flemish chocolatiers and became the defining Belgian confection. In Ghent, the most technically advanced praline work is at Patisserie Joost Arijs on Vlaanderenstraat, which uses Valrhona and Michel Cluizel single-origin couverture for shells and local cream for ganaches. The Ghent Chocolate and Praline tour offered by local operators visits both industrial and artisan producers.
