Our beginnings
Delacre's story begins in the very heart of magnificent Brussels, where Charles Delacre opened his first chocolate lab in 1873.
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
The journey of Delacre
With a passion for sweet creations, Charles Delacre decided to open a chocolate laboratory in the central neighbourhood of Ixelles. Rapidly, his chocolate boutique became a huge success resulting in the creation of hundreds of delightful specialties.
His pioneer spirit was rewarded in 1879 with a prestigious accreditation from the Royal Palace in Brussels: Official Supplier to the Belgian Court. Today, Delacre still supplies the Royal Palace of Brussels.
The birth of a biscuit
Our first biscuits
Enlarging his activity, Delacre realized the irresistible potential of combining crunchy pastry with intense melted chocolate. In 1891, the first fine biscuit was born: the “Pacha Delacre”. It marked the beginning of Delacre’s huge success as a biscuiteer.
Ever since, all of Charles Delacre's know-how, innovative spirit and passion for quality are a part of every single Delacre creation.
