Snowballs

Our Ghent confectionery hand rolls 8 varieties of snowball: irresistible clouds of whipped butter, generously dipped in chocolate and dusted with icing sugar according to taste. The perfect snowball boasts a crisp exterior and melts seductively on your tongue.

Ice cream

Our Talamini ice cream is made from fresh fruit or other natural ingredients, including authentic cuberdons and speculoos. In addition to scooping ice cream, Ghent confectionery Larmuseau stocks an exciting range of ice pralines, unique ice cream cakes, Ice Tales and sorbets.

Rice pudding

Our rice pudding doesn’t require serving on a silver platter to taste heavenly. Savour this comfortingly creamy sweet treat in 8 different flavours including traditional, pear or salted caramel.

Éclairs

In addition to our classic éclair, we spoil customers with a range of unique flavours, including salted caramel, strawberry, almond and much, much more. Which of our delicious éclairs is your new favourite?

chocolate balls

Our chocolate balls: a veritable taste explosion. The mouthwatering combination of chocolate and tempting flavours, such as passion fruit, strawberry or crème brûlée, will have you emptying your box of Larmuseau chocolate balls in next to no time.

Truffles

We don’t only roll our deliciously creamy truffles in cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. We also cram them with a selection of tempting ingredients such as strawberry, almond or blackcurrants. In fact, they’re so utterly irresistible, you won’t be able to get enough of them!

100 years of snowballs at Ghent confectionery Larmuseau

The very first snowballs are concocted in the Supra confectionery in Ghent, which is owned by confectionery, chocolate and biscuit manufacturer, August Larmuseau. Indeed, it is his search for an affordable alternative to the then extremely expensive chocolate that gets the proverbial ball rolling.

WWII hurtles by and the country is flooded with cheap Dutch confectionery products. Closure looms. However, the desire for the perfect snowball persists. August perseveres and finally outclasses the numerous copycat snowballs with a superior flavour and genuine authenticity.

August’s son, Georges, takes over the business and it enjoys renewed success. Meanwhile, snowballs are now available in every village store. And what does Georges do to round-up customer accounts? He throws in some extra snowballs of course! An extremely palatable way to eliminate small change.

Once again, the confectionery is passed from father to son. New owner, Johnny, boasts 13 years in the business and knows precisely how to make the perfect snowball. Free from flavour enhancers or preservatives, the snowball remains a deliciously pure, seasonal product.

Eventually Johnny also goes in search of someone to breathe new life into the snowballs. A young entrepreneur from Ghent, Tanguy Serraes, joins the Ghent confectionery. He’s entrusted with the secret family recipe and immediately sets about learning the tricks of the trade. A year later he also acquires Talamini and gives the celebrated ice cream parlour a brand new look.

In 2018, Tanguy decides that the time is ripe to dust off a number of other authentic recipes. Larmuseau relaunches a delicious range of traditional and authentic confectionery products that are unique in terms of their flavour, shape, appearance, history and quality. Keen to discover these delicious sweet treats for yourself? Larmuseau opened 2 new shops in 2018, where customers can enjoy an extremely personal service and sample the latest goodies.

The snowballs from our Ghent confectionery received VLAM accreditation as a Flemish regional product in 2009. We’re extremely proud of this official recognition of our authentic craft, which places our products even more firmly in the spotlight.
