A royal recognition. ✨⚔️
By 1968, GODIVA had spent decades refining the artistry and craftsmanship that first began in 1926. That same year, the Belgian Royal Palace officially granted GODIVA the title of “Purveyor to the Royal Court”—a distinction recognizing brands that embody exceptional quality and excellence.
With that honor, GODIVA was recognized as an official chocolatier, further strengthening the brand’s association with Belgian heritage and craftsmanship.
These archival moments featuring Princess Paola and Joseph Draps offer a glimpse into the history behind that recognition, and the legacy of Belgian artistry that continues to shape everything we create today.

It’s truly a celebration of how far we’ve traveled and the connections made along the way. Discover Nippon in GODIVA’s Centennial Praline Collection.

100 years ago, master chocolatier Pierre Draps opened a small atelier in Brussels, guided by a belief that chocolate can be a full experience, not just a sweet treat. Each and every piece, crafted with intention, artistry, and care.
Over time, Pierre’s passion became a legacy of Belgian craftsmanship, passed down to his son, Pierre Draps Jr., who crafted recipes that define chocolate artistry – including the legendary praliné, a hallmark of GODIVA’s heritage.
From Brussels to New York, from quiet moments to life’s grandest celebrations, his vision transformed chocolate into something more: a ritual of joy, a symbol of connection, a way to mark the moments that matter most.
Because true craftsmanship evolves, and continues to inspire, 100 years later. 🍫
