Before you read any further, STA Travel, the company which has made this mouth-watering list available, would like to make it known that it takes absolutely NO responsibility for any damages caused by drooling all over your laptop or phone screen after reading this.

If you are brave enough to read on, STA Travel have put together the only guide you need while gallivanting across Europe; the go-to chocolate brands and chocolatiers across ten different countries, and where to find them...enjoy!

1. England

If there were an international supermodel in the chocolate industry, it would be Cadbury. Known and loved by millions across the globe, the British born company has their headquarters in London and operates in more than 50 countries worldwide, best known for their Dairy Milk Chocolate. ‘Cadbury World’ located in Birmingham, UK provides something for everyone; from a 4D chocolate adventure to chocolate making classes, there is something for all sweet-toothed chocolate lovers.

2. France

France and Hermés? Is that the birkin bag calling? Not this time! It’s Pierre Hermé the ‘Picasso of Chocolate’. Famous for his work in France, Japan and the United States, his artesian crafted chocolatier and pastry house is located in Bonaparte, France. Offering the finest of chocolates, pound cakes, teas and pastries it’s hard for any sweet tooth to pass up! His secret? Hermé prefers the discreet pastry decors and “uses sugar like salt” as a seasoning to heighten other shades of flavour. The only thing that could make it better?? A personalised Salt Bae for every customer...where you at Salt Bae?

3. Netherlands

If you’re in Amsterdam you would be insane not to try artesian chocolatier Puccini Bomboni’s creations... and pick up some ingredients to bake a brownie or two at home later (wink). Puccini Bomboni has two stores located in Singel and Staalstraat, with every chocolate designed to give the customer an unforgettable experience, full of unique tastes. The chefs at Puccini are constantly seeking to develop new and original combinations. Why create something that already exists, right? Using bespoke combinations such as pepper, lemongrass and nutmeg, it’ll cause an explosion of flavours in your mouth.

4. Germany

You just know it’s going to be a long-lasting relationship when a chocolatier’s motto is ‘we’re always here for you’. The comforting words from Rausch Schokoladenhaus of Rausch Chocolatier, brings warmth to your heart. A Berlin icon located in Gendarmenmarkt Square in the Mitte district provides customers a chocolate shop, café and restaurant...triple whammy! From handcrafted chocolates to delicate deserts it has something for every chocolate lover.

5. Prague

Ever wondered how chocolate actually becomes chocolate? It doesn’t just grow on trees (well, it does really - but not all packaged and ready to eat). Discover the history and evolution of the small cacao beans transformation into the creamy or dark (whatever your preference) chocolate that we all know and love. The museum has data, historical, geographical and botanical information as well as a few sneaky treats and taste tests along the way. The Choco Story Museum is located in Müstek, Prague. Full disclosure: The museum is confident you’ll enjoy yourself, but takes zero responsibility for your jeans not fitting the same post-visit. Seriously.

6. Austria

Willy Wonka you have some competition. Enter: Zotter Chocolate Factory located in Riegersburg, Austria. Chef Joseph Zotter started as an apprentice chef, waiter and now chocolatier confectioner. With the ‘bean-to-bar’ production line using nothing but organic and fair-trade quality, the ‘bean-to-bar’ technique is a high-class production process that covers the roasting of the cocoa beans on rollers to the classic grinding practices. The Zotter Chocolate Factory is the only company in the whole of Europe using this method – highly exclusive, darling.

7. Italy

Receiving kisses from your Italian relatives isn’t so bad when it’s the chocolate kind. Baci chocolate is a love story that dates back to 1922 in Perugia, a medieval city located in the heart of Italy. It was a chocolate that let people express their love, with a small little love note that made the chocolate ‘as sweet as a kiss’. The sweet little treat comes in original dark, white and milk chocolate filled with choc-hazelnut filling and a crunchy whole hazelnut and has been a firm favourite of millions across the world for years. How’s that saying go...? Oh that’s right: “All you need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt”.

8. Spain

Forget paella and churros, Blanxart chocolate will satisfy all of your Spanish needs. Located in Còrsega, Barcelona, the chocolatier is faithful to its approach of using single-origin cocoa for an outstanding quality chocolate. Every single form of chocolate you could imagine, Blanxart have created, using the finest of techniques that requires special knowledge of the product. From 95% Black Ecuador chocolate to sugar-free white chocolate, there is a product for every customer.

Founded in 1845 in Zürich, Switzerland, Lindt the Swiss chocolatier is available to millions across the world and is an absolute crowd pleaser. From their ‘excellence range’ with flavours such as 90% cocoa and chilli to their ‘creations range’ with crème brûlée and salted caramel Sunday, Lindt have successfully packed a decadent desert into one small chocolate bite. Where better to try the Lindt chocolate than in its homeland, the Lindt chocolate factory is located in Kilchberg Switzerland?

10.Belgium
