About us

Excellent selection of handmade chocolates

At Koenen Chocolate by Cerisette, chocolate is a big part of our family story. Ever since 1963, we've poured our heart and soul into making the finest chocolate, driven by a shared passion that spans generations. What began as a dream has grown into a cherished tradition that we proudly continue every day.

Our Range

From our handmade chocolates and elegant truffles to our delicious seasonal specialties, each creation reflects the love and dedication passed down through our family for generations. By combining traditional techniques with the finest ingredients, we create chocolate experiences that are as unforgettable as they are refined. Whether you're enjoying our classics or exploring something new, every bite carries the love and craftsmanship that define us. For us, chocolate is not just a product; it's our family's passion, which we are delighted to share with you.

Cocoa Horizons

Exceptional chocolate begins with responsibly sourced ingredients. That's why we are proud to be part of Cocoa Horizons, a programme committed to improving the living conditions of cocoa farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture. By choosing certified Cocoa Horizons, we ensure that our chocolate is not only of the highest quality but also produced ethically. This way, we support fair wages, community development, and environmental conservation.

With every chocolate we make, we stay true to tradition, craftsmanship and responsibility. Because the tastiest chocolate is chocolate that also does good.

Team Cerisette

Behind every chocolate lies a close-knit team of professionals: experts who have mastered their craft and dedicate themselves daily to creating fair and delicious products.

As a family business, we believe everyone deserves a place in the job market. That's why we also give people with a distance to the labour market the opportunity to learn, grow, and become part of a warm and supportive team.

Once every two years, we also welcome talented rugby players from all over the world, who come to play at a high level in Oisterwijk. At Cerisette, they find not only a place on the field but also within our company. In this way, we support the sport and the local community.

Our cream chocolates

At Koenen Chocolate by Cerisette, we are proud of something very special: our fresh cream pralines. We are the only chocolatier that makes these pralines with real, fresh cream, in the same way we have been doing since 1963. While other companies offer “cream chocolate,” they typically use buttercream or ganache as a filling. Our pralines, however, contain pure, fresh cream, for a soft texture and a delicate flavour that melts on the tongue. This dedication to quality and tradition is what sets us apart and makes our pralines truly unique.
