Praline Belge · Brussels
Filled chocolate bonbons invented in Brussels in 1912: a bittersweet shell enrobing a soft centre of ganache, caramel, marzipan, gianduja or nut praline. Wittamer, Pierre Marcolini and Mary set the city standard.
The Belgian praline was invented in 1912 by Jean Neuhaus II at the family Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert pharmacy-confiserie (the original Neuhaus shop opened on Galerie de la Reine in 1857). His wife Louise Agostini then invented the ballotin box in 1915 to keep the pralines from being crushed in the paper cones used at the time. Wittamer (1910), Mary (1919) and Pierre Marcolini (1995) extended the tradition through the 20th century.
