Belgian Chocolate Gourmet Gift Box – 48 Squares

“Once Upon a Bean” is a limited-edition Belgian chocolate gift box that transforms the journey of the cocoa bean into a playful and beautifully illustrated story. Inside are 32 individually crafted chocolate squares, each representing a stage in the magical transformation from cocoa pod to finished chocolate. Designed as a visual narrative, the box combines gourmet chocolate with imagination, humour, and artistry.

To bring this world to life, Dolfin collaborated with Franco-Belgian artist and designer Elium, whose surreal and poetic style turns cocoa pods, beans, and chocolate bars into animated characters full of personality and movement. Her illustrations guide the experience like a comic strip, making the gift box as visually memorable as it is indulgent.

The assortment includes four signature flavours: milk chocolate with salted butter caramel, milk chocolate with nougatine, dark chocolate with shortbread biscuit, and 70% dark chocolate with Guérande sea salt. Together, they offer a balance of creamy sweetness, crunch, savoury contrast, and deep cocoa intensity.

Dolfin crafts its chocolate in Belgium using carefully selected cocoa beans that are fermented, dried, roasted, and conched to achieve smooth texture and aromatic depth. Produced with pure cocoa butter and guided by Dolfin’s Cocoa Act 4 values of people, planet, quality, and transparency, this box is a thoughtful and luxurious gifting experience designed to be both tasted and explored.
