Meurisse was founded by Adolphe Meurisse in 1845 in Antwerp, Belgium, at a time when chocolate was still a rare delicacy.

Meurisse was awarded several honors at the Exposition International d’Ancers at the end of the 19th century and again at the World Expo in Brussels at the beginning of the 20th century.

Meurisse is the oldest Belgian chocolate company still in operation.

The great-great-great-grandchildren of Adolphe Meurisse have re-launched the chocolate collection with new flavors and updated branding, simultaneously embracing the future while respecting the heritage of the eponymous Meurisse name.

Meurisse chocolate is made from single-origin, fair trade, organic cacao.
