Our pralines

Our Artisan Chocolate Selection – Fresh & Authentic

At Temmerman, we carefully select our Belgian chocolate with a passion for quality. Alongside a refined range of handmade pralines, we offer true classics like “horse heads”, orangettes and chocolate marshmallows. All crafted with top-quality ingredients using traditional techniques.

What truly sets us apart? Freshness.
While others focus on shelf life, we focus on flavour. As a child, I tasted our chocolate fresh from the workshop—and that’s exactly the experience we want to share with you.

With five generations of craftsmanship, we combine deep knowledge of ingredients, production and retail to offer chocolate that is not only traditional but freshly made and of premium quality.

Our creations are guided by six core values. Let us introduce them to you.

1. Quality Begins with Ingredients

The first ingredient in every chocolate we make is our expertise in raw materials. Exceptional products start with exceptional ingredients.

That’s why we collaborate with small local suppliers who provide us with high-quality, fair ingredients. With our roots in cocoa plantations in Colombia, we know how to select and transform raw materials into delicious final products.

2. Handmade Pralines – From Workshop to Store

Working closely with our expert chocolatiers, we create handmade pralines in small batches in our artisan workshop. Every product is made with premium ingredients and uncompromising quality.

Thanks to our made-to-order production model, we can guarantee true freshness. Our chocolates go straight from production to store – no preservatives, no delays.

This is chocolate as it should be: fresh, pure, and artisanal.

3. Fresh Ingredients – Out of Respect for You

At Temmerman, we believe that respect for our customers starts with respect for our products. Thanks to our new production approach, we don’t need to keep chocolate in stock before shipping it to stores. This lets us work with fresh ingredients like real butter and cream—without preservatives.

The result? A pure and honest product that delivers maximum flavour and freshness to the customer.

4. Seasonal Passion – Limited Editions with Meaning

Expertise is one thing—but when combined with passion, you get something truly special. That’s why we go beyond our year-round classics and offer seasonal creations and limited editions tailored to the moment.

Each of these is made using ingredients that match the mood and flavours of the season. That’s how our chocolate stays exciting and relevant—all year long.

5. Small Batches – Quality Over Quantity

Thanks to our small-scale artisan production, we have the luxury to work in very small batches. This gives us the agility to respond quickly to new themes, flavours and seasonal demands.

We regularly evaluate and adapt our product range—always guided by our core philosophy: quality over quantity.

6. Family Values, Fair Partnerships & Eco-Friendly Packaging

As one of the oldest confectionery families in Belgium, we don’t believe in simple buyer-supplier relationships. Every person in our supply chain is a partner in our family business.

That’s why we work with small producers who share our values of honesty and craftsmanship. Everyone deserves a fair deal—so our chocolate is made with integrity, not just ingredients.

We also keep up with new flavours and trends while honouring our traditional values. And because we care about the planet, all our packaging is 100% biodegradable or made from recycled materials.
