Côte d'Or Petit Plaisir chocolate

Côte d'Or is a prestigious Belgian chocolate brand founded in 1883 by Charles Neuhaus. The name, which means 'Gold Coast', refers to the contemporary Ghana, the source of many of the cocoa beans used in the original recipes. The brand is iconic for its elephant logo, symbolizing the strength and heritage of its African cocoa roots.

Historically a quintessential Belgian company, it was acquired over the decades by various large corporations, including Jacobs Suchard and Philip Morris. Today, it is part of the global snacks giant Mondelēz International. While the company is an international brand, its primary production center remains in Halle, Belgium, ensuring it retains its authentic Belgian heritage and quality standards. This specific 'Petit Plaisir' line features whole hazelnuts, representing the brand's commitment to premium ingredients and indulgent textures.
