Godiva Chocolate
A heritage as rich as our chocolate.
The beginning, the legend.
Pierre Draps first dreamt up GODIVA in 1926, meticulously crafting pralines from his home kitchen in Brussels. His children soon became collaborators, in their own words, they were βborn into chocolate.β
Indeed, even the GODIVA name is rooted in legend. Pierre Snrβs wife had such long, lustrous hair that her hairdresser anointed her βLady Godivaβ β referring to the 11th century English heroine who famously rode her horse through the streets of Coventry in protest of excessive taxes, wearing nothing but her flowing locks.

Timeless chocolate.
Weβve been crafting chocolate to mark special moments since Pierre Draps Snr. made his very first praline back in 1926.
Like the Truffe Mathilde, a classic coffee ganache complete with a regal handcrafted βMβ to celebrate the wedding of Belgiumβs Crown Prince. Or the Signature Lait, created to match Scarlett Oβ Haraβs iconic hat in the film Gone with the Wind. Loved around the world and recognised by the Belgian Royal Warrant, every piece of GODIVA brings you an unparalleled level of European sophistication. As exquisite today, as it has always been.
