About Vanderwee Chocolates


Vanderwee Chocolates was established in 1995 in Sydney
by Belgians Hendrik and Hilde Vanderwee Rosseel who chose  to specialize in high end artisan made chocolates hand-crafted in Belgium.
No mass production,
no preservatives,
no artificial colouring agents,
no compromises.

Vanderwee was the first to introduce hand-crafted
Belgian chocolates to Australia  and to this day they are the only ones.

Did you known?


The European Union 15 years ago has set in law what the requirements  are for a product to be labelled chocolate (See article The secrets Australian chocolate lovers should know) these standards are not yet in place in Australia. It is remarkable that Australia closely followed by the US are the last of the developed countries where real chocolate has been replaced with chocolate flavoured sugar, lard and palm oil. The short term gains? well it is cheap,nasty and it is making its people one of the most obese countries in the world. It is not something you want to send as a present to someone.

 Most people have heard of the health benefits of chocolate.
At the same time, the vast majority of Australians do not make the distinction between chocolate and sugar infested confectionery. Supermarket chocolate and confectionery is indeed not healthy at all  and together with soft and so called "energy" drinks they are the biggest contributors to obesity and diabetes. Frankly they should be subjected to a fat and sugar tax 		 

Shortly after opening our doors Sydney food writers enjoyed writing about chocolate again.
