Veldemeers

Founded by Belgian, Hans van Hooreweghe, Veldemeers started in 1997 as a small company trading under the name Chocolart. Belgian chocolates are famous worldwide for their quality and taste and, for the first time in its history, Hans brought fine, handcrafted Belgian chocolates to the people of Zimbabwe and enabled them to enjoy a much nicer chocolate than what was currently available.

All our ingredients with the exception of butter, flour, cream, sugar and eggs are sourced directly from Belgium and are what make our products truly unique in Zimbabwe. Each chocolate is individually handmade by professional staff at our factory in Doon Estate, where our well trained bakers also make our speciality croissants, pastries, cakes and breads. Veldemeers only uses Belgian chocolate in all our production processes – this chocolate contains only cocoa butter, no other vegetable fats are added. Cocoa butter melts at body temperature, which is the reason why our Belgian chocolates simply melt away in the mouth.
