NEWSLETTER ENGLISH OUR STORY OUR PRODUCTS SUSTAINABILITY CONTACT History Born 1938 in Sint-Niklaas, Guy Foubert was a passionate Belgian chocolatier, but his story alone is not ours. Rather, ours is a love story. When Guy married his lover, Liliane, in 1958, the two immortalized their passion for life’s sweetest pleasures, love and chocolate, by joining their names to one: Chocolaterie Guy-lian. In celebration of love and chocolate, the couple created for the ﬁrst time the Guylian Sea Shell Chocolates. Guy developed the iconic recipe of our signature in-house roasted hazelnut praliné ﬁlling; Liliane added the artistic touch by designing the shining marbled exterior and the delicately sculptured shapes, the white and dark chocolate intertwining like the lives of the two lovers, an immortal tale of romance that is retold in every marbled seashell today. The Guylian Difference Making Guylian chocolates so unique and delicious takes skill, effort and craftsmanship. Learn how Guylian gives chocolate lovers all over the world an unforgettable sensation, to be savoured slowly. The Finest Belgian Chocolate Guylian creates all its great tasting chocolates with only the ﬁnest Belgian chocolate, originating from an exceptional blend of West African cocoa beans that meet our high demands. The cocoa beans must be produced and sourced in a sustainable way and the manufacturer must guarantee absolute food safety while helping to improve the lives of the cocoa farmers they purchase from. 100% Pure Cocoa Butter All Guylian chocolate is made with 100% pure cocoa butter. This critical ingredient gives the chocolate the desirable creamy taste and superior “melt-in-your-mouth” texture, better known as the Guylian Experience. Our Signature Roasted Hazelnut Praliné Filling The recipe of Guylian’s in-house roasted hazelnut praliné was invented in the fifties by our founder, Guy Foubert and is still used today by our Master Chocolatiers in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. Fresh Mediterranean hazelnuts are gently roasted the traditional way in small-batch copper kettles. Our experienced Master Pralineurs monitor the sugar quantity and temperature closely until the hazelnuts reach the perfect level of caramelization. You can distinguish a true Guylian Sea Shell chocolate by the G-stamp it bears. This is our quality signature and the mark of an artist.

Project Seahorse is small yet mighty team of people that makes a big difference to conservation and sustainable use of the world’s seahorses and their coastal marine communities. In total, Guylian has provided € 1.75 million in support of its programs. Besides Guylian’s financial contribution the company also helps spread the word about seahorses and conservation on the millions of chocolate boxes sold worldwide every year. Guylian shares in many of Project Seahorse’ biggest conservation successes, from the creation of 36 no-take marine protected areas to the initiation of the first global export controls for marine fishes and the creation of a bold new citizen science venture: the app and website iSeahorse . This ‘citizen science’ tool allows anyone to upload a sighting of a seahorse in the wild and thus provide Project Seahorse with vital data to improve seahorse conservation. Our long term engagement to Project Seahorse was recognized in 2015 with a Corporate Social Responsibility Award, handed out by the Royal Belgian Committee for Distribution.
