I already knew that Belgian chocolates, as fine as they are, are equalled if not surpassed by Dutch chocolate. I first became addicted to Dutch chocolate when some friends from Breda took us to their favorite chocolatier which happens to be around the corner from them. Another friend told us about Puccini, right here in Amsterdam, so I finally went by to see what all the fuss was.

I was glad I did! I've never tasted such fine chocolate in my life! All the bonbons were fresh, creamy smooth, and so flavorful. While their selection isn't huge, each choice is meticulously made with the finest natural ingredients and a 70% cacao content. Many of their bonbons contain fine liquors like cognac, grand marnier or amaretto.

Discover this well-kept local secret for yourself! Puccini has two locations, and at the Staalstraat shop, you can see them make the bonbons through a window. On the Staalstraat you can also enjoy a coffee and some fabulous chocolate desserts at their cafe...

I miss those chocolates so... We bought tons of chocolate at Puccini for gifts. Very little of it made it back to the States with us. We ate it all - mostly before we even got back to the hotel. I wish I could mail order it too.

A few years ago while strolling through the streets of Amsterdam I saw through a window a woman making choclate bonbons. And me as a great lover of choclate decided to buy some to taste them. They are far abovein taste than any other choclate maker I know even Godaiva or Lindt or New hous or any other belgian choclate maker.

I just came across Puccini while I was strolling the city a couple years ago. Since then I drop in to buy some of their chocolate everytime I come to Europe from Tokyo. Puccini helps KLM!

We've been to Puccini the past two summers and we feel it is the absolute finest chocolate in the world. We can't wait to get there again next year so we may feast on "tee" (tea) chocolates. Eu & Me Clark, Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Puccini is THE BEST chocolate you will ever taste. Try the 'Seren' (lemongrass), and Framboos (raspberry), but give the 'Thyme' a miss, unless you really really like thyme in your chocolate!

I've never tasted better chocolate in my life. We ate a box (that was supposed to be a gift) in 2 days. Even though we were late for the airport, we had to stop and each buy a box to take home. I'm trying to figure out how to have it shipped to the US. Incredible!
