Are Guylian Chocolates Gluten Free?

Guylian is an artisanal Belgian chocolate manufacturer founded by Guy Foubert in 1958. Guylian offers a wide assortment of Belgian chocolate and is perhaps most well-known for its production of chocolate shaped Sea Shells packaged in an iconic white box.

Alongside the famed box of chocolates offered by Guylian, their products are now also available in small packs, pouches and even as snack-sized chocolate bars.

Each of the elegantly crafted Sea Shell chocolates is filled with hazelnut praliné filling, following an exact recipe that has dated back more than 60 years.
