Cacaolab chocolate with Ghent University logo

A unique selection of pralines made by Cacaolab, a spin-off from Ghent University.

Cacaolab originated from the Food Technology lab at the department of Food Technology, Safety and Health (faculty of Bioscience Engineering).

test‘Innovation and training from bean to praline’. That's Cacaolab's creed, which they put into practice in two ways:

  1. They create innovative chocolate products, commissioned by companies or in the context of their own scientific research. Cacaolab has its own small-scale experimental chocolate and fillings production facility. In addition, they have developed an analytical toolbox for cocoa and chocolate related research.

  2. Cacaolab frequently provides trainings and organises seminars to inform the industry of the newest scientific findings on topics related to cacao and chocolate.

Cacaolab created a unique praline collection named 'The All-Chemist', in a luxury gift box with 9 or 25 pralines. You can order them, under certain conditions, directly through Cacaolab (and no longer through the Ghent University shop as before).

    Fine praline collection ‘The All-Chemist’

    Unieke pralinecollectie 'The All-Chemist'  met likeuren van Sas Distilleries, ontworpen voor de UGent door Cacaolab.This unique selection of pralines is created with spirits from Sas Distilleries, the brainchild of Ghent University professor Benedikt Sas. 

    The pralines offer the optimal balance between traditional artisanal recipes and the latest scientific findings. The taste is perfectly balanced, to make sure that the spicy, floral aroma of the spirits can be fully appreciated.

    The pralines are available in a small box with 9 pralines or a large box with 25 pralines.

    The box is wrapped with a sleeve with the Ghent University logo. Inside you will find an insert with information (in English) about Ghent University, Cacaolab and the different pralines.
