Delft is one of my favourite cities in the Netherlands. An old city with a young vibe, with narrow streets and many cosy shops to discover. In one of my visits, last summer, I stumbled upon this little chocolate shop: Van der Burgh Chocolaad. The beautiful patterns of the chocolate packaging I’ve seen in the window charmed me, so I entered to see what treats I can get. Inside the cute shop, I noticed something you don’t see often: someone was manually packing the chocolates! How cool is that?! The interior was cosy, with a few antiques decorations and smelled heavenly. I learned that it’s a family business and they sell handmade chocolates that are also packaged by hand, because they believe that every chocolate should be a gift. And a gift it was!  I left the place with a few sweets, my favourite being a chocolate with pieces of confit orange — I opened it as soon as I was outside and it quickly disappeared.

P.S. This is not a sponsored article, I paid for my chocolate and I don’t regret it 😀
