Choco-Story in Bruges

5th September 2006

Chocolate-lovers should visit Bruges' Choco-Story exhibition to learn more about the confectionery.

Belgium is famous for its delicious chocolate and many visitors to the country enjoy sampling the wonderful confectionary on offer. A visit to the Choco-Story, however, offers visitors an insight into the history of the food.

Providing an explanation into how it was developed from cocoa beans into the rich, creamy substance manipulated by confectioners, the exhibition gives visitors a greater understanding of the processes involved in making the bars which fill many Belgian shops.

There is the chance to witness the chocolate-making process in action and explains the roots of Belgian chocolate and why it has become so famous throughout the world.

This museum offers everything a chocolate fan could desire, including a huge library containing works on cocoa and chocolate. There are even chocolate experts on hand for visitors to ask questions, as well as recipes to try out when back home.

The Choco-Story is more than the average museum and provides a quite different day out for visitors to Bruges, including the almost obligatory chocolate-tasting – a splendid experience in itself!
