Global chocolate leader GODIVA has announced the launch of its new limited-edition Belgian Heritage Collection – an exclusive assortment of Belgian chocolates and confections never before sold in the United States. The collection is comprised of twelve unique chocolate and confection pieces crafted in Brussels, where the brand was founded nearly 100 years ago, using some of GODIVA’s most treasured and bespoke recipes.
With the iconic brand’s centennial set to arrive in 2026, GODIVA’s chocolatiers set out to kick-off the celebration with a brand-new collection for the United States.
“To create this collection, I personally traveled to Brussels with a select team of chocolatiers with a mission to build a collection that represents the absolute best of GODIVA. Soon after arriving, we surrounded ourselves with hundreds of different chocolates and confections – all painstakingly crafted and perfected over the course of nearly 10 decades,” says Carlos Canals, managing director for pladis Americas. “After much debating and tasting, we ultimately hand-selected the pieces for our Heritage Collection – a first-of-its-kind GODIVA offering in the US.”
GODIVA’s Belgian Heritage Collection includes the following unique pieces:
- Ruby G – A new variety that boasts a rose red coloration from a specialty mixing process, creating a confection that provides hints of berries paired with a dark chocolate ganache
- Egerie Noir – Created first for its 90th anniversary, it celebrates GODIVA’s heritage with an iconic “stamp” of Lady GODIVA, the namesake, on horseback, with a scarlet raspberry filling
- Milk Chocolate Cube – Combines traditional Belgian flavors of Sirop de Leige and Speculoos cookie enrobed by GODIVA’s signature milk chocolate
- Iconique – Milk chocolate with a rich Belgian hazelnut praline filling, embossed with the heraldry of Lady Godiva on her horse
- Paris Brest – Inspired by Parisian patisserie, this brings a dark chocolate almond praliné ganache mixed with a crunchy hazelnut mousse tucked inside a dark chocolate shell topped with a caramel crumble
- Lingot d'or – A signature hazelnut praliné elevated with extra dark chocolate and roasted hazelnuts, wrapped in a golden foil
- Golden Moon – An iconic piece first seen in GODIVA’s Asian markets, this piece brings chocolate vanilla mousse with biscuit crumbles & almond praliné in a dark chocolate moon shape, topped with a gold glittering shell reminiscent of caramel brulée
- G-Macadamia – A milk chocolate shell filled with GODIVA’s signature hazelnut praliné, dotted throughout with caramelized macadamia nuts and buttery biscuits crisps
- White Chocolate Heart – A buttery white chocolate shell giving way to a traditional praliné filling
- Cocoa Pod – Paying homage to the building block of all chocolate, a dark chocolate shell inspired by the cocoa pod, filled with a dark chocolate ganache made of 64% Costa Rican dark chocolate cacao and fresh juice from the cocoa pod
- Croconoir – Smooth and silky dark chocolate ganache enrobed in a crocodile inspired dark chocolate shape
- Twilight Duet – GODIVA’s signature milk chocolate with a lavish dark chocolate ganache, accented with a layer of 64% cacao dark chocolate on top
These chocolates and confections are complemented by a box that blends GODIVA’s iconic Gold Box and the original design of GODIVA’s iconic boutiques – boasting flourishes on each side of the ballotin mirroring the Art Nouveau style. The artistic style is emblematic of an early 1900s movement and is still seen today in the historic homes of Belgium, where GODIVA’s founder, Pierre Draps, became a master chocolatier.
To celebrate this first-of-its-kind launch for GODIVA in the United States, Macy’s Herald Square flagship in New York City will be featuring a three-panel window installation taking viewers on a journey celebrating the magic of GODIVA’s Belgian Heritage Collection, boasting larger-than-life recreations of this limited time offering. This special showing will only be on view from October 17-31.
The Belgian Heritage Collection launches with 8-piece and 15-piece boxes, including an assortment of a dozen meticulously crafted artisan indulgences, now available for a limited time exclusively with Macy's (8-piece, 15-piece), Bloomingdale's (8-piece, 15-piece), GODIVA's website and in select DFS Global Travel Retail locations.
