This special regional bonbon combines honest Callebaut chocolate with the characteristic flavour of Goeie Mie Gin. A luxurious chocolate gift for lovers of artisan bonbons and a special souvenir or corporate gift.

The taste of Leiden

De Leidse Bal is carefully handmade according to our own recipe and is covered with honest Callebaut chocolate from Cocoa Horizons. The creamy filling is enriched with Goeie Mie Gin, a characteristic Leiden gin made with organic botanical ingredients, including elderflower. This gives the bonbon a refined and surprising taste with a true Leiden signature.

Inspired by the history of Leiden

The name of this special bonbon refers to Goeie Mie (Maria Swanenburg), one of Leiden's most famous historical figures. The characteristic Goeie Mie Gin is the inspiration for this exclusive regional bonbon and gives De Leidse Bal its unique taste experience. The striking blue finish subtly refers to this special story from Leiden's history.
