Our Heritage We`ve come a long way since 1926. But we still hold fast to our Belgian roots. In keeping with Belgian tradition, our founder Joseph Draps was a master chocolatier who developed a unique formula for rich chocolate with unparalleled smoothness and shell-molded designs. In 1926, Draps opened his first Godiva Chocolatier shop on Boulevard Leopold II in Brussels. His confections were met with instant acclaim, as were his standards for Godiva which remain in place today: quality ingredients, elegant styling, innovative selection, and beautiful packaging. Today, Godiva is about the ultimate chocolate experience. From mouth-watering truffles and pralines to an indulgent ice cream or a rich biscuit, romanced by the warmth of our Boutique staff, we look to inspire passion for our brand around the world.
