A Chocolatier

Jean Neuhaus

Jean Neuhaus was a Swiss with Italian roots. When he arrived in Switzerland, Jean's family changed its name from "Casanova" to "Neuhaus". He wanted to become a doctor to help people and so he went to study medicine in Grenoble. He failed twice, mainly because he could not bear the sight of blood. He then moved and settled in Brussels in 1857. In the same year he opened a pharmacy in the prestigious Queen's Gallery. To delight his customers, Jean Neuhaus covered his medicines with a fine layer of chocolate.
