This appears to have been put together by a committee (there is no byline) and by people who have little or no understanding of the chocolate business.

This year 2016 was a good year for our small business in Belgium. We now are following some new (for us) small and unique chocolate makers. Such as: Ananda (Ecuador), The Wellington chocolate Factory, Acali, Potamac, Letterpress, PumpStreet Bakery, Dick Taylor and La Naya.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2016/2017
