Joris

Belgian confectioner founded nearly 100 years ago by Joris Van den Driessche. Still using traditional acacia gum and a steam-bath wax technique — the only confectioner in Europe to do so.

Contact us Just a heads-up: our store won’t be taking orders from 2 to 7 May 2026. You can still browse, but purchases won’t be possible during this time. We’re visiting our grandkids in Cyprus! The next postal date will be 13 May. Thanks for your understanding!

Founded in Belgium almost 100 years ago by confectioner Joris Van den Driessche. One of the few businesses still using real acacia gum as a basic ingredient. Hard gums are washed in a steam bath after air drying for a week — a traditional technique that gives a beautiful shine without animal-derived washes. The only confectioner in Europe still using this method.
