Philippe Jambon: "When your name is “Jambon” and you want to sell chocolate, you have to be realistic and tell yourself that you won't be able to give your name to your brand. In fact, it all started Bruges, in Belgium, because this is where the brand's first chocolate factory was located. It seemed very appropriate for a chocolate brand to keep the name of this city which is also called “the Venice of the north " Then our family passion for Jacques Brel and the song “Jef” did the rest and the name “Jeff de Bruges” stood out. The culture of French chocolate and Belgian chocolate were two strong inspirations for me. the creation of the brand and it was important for me to rhyme these two unique skills in one name.”

We have revisited old recipes and modernized them, drawing inspiration from current desires. "
