“Chocolate isn’t just a flavour, it’s an experience” – Karel and Kate Vandersteegen

Welcome to Chocolique – a delicious example of what happens when an enthusiastic hobby becomes a passionate way of life.

The story of this sumptuous family business began in Belgium (as all good chocolate stories do) in 2006, when Karel (known as Charlie by his friends), Chocolique’s certified Belgian chocolatier, decided to indulge in a hobby and sign up for evening artisan chocolate making classes. Over two years he studied, developing his skills as a chocolatier and mastering the art of making the finest quality Belgian chocolates. In 2008 he decided to fulfil another life long dream and migrated to South Australia, where he met the wonderful Kate (by far the prettiest chocolate maker at Chocolique) and fell madly in love.

Together Karel and Kate, using only the finest Belgian chocolate, handcraft indulgent, luxurious chocolates that are as much about the experience as they are about the taste.
