Godiva is a prestigious Belgian chocolate brand with a rich history that began in 1926.
​
The name “Godiva” originates from the legendary figure of Lady Godiva. According to legend, Lady Godiva was an 11th-century British noblewoman who rode naked through the streets of the city, covered only by her long hair, to protest her husband’s oppressive tax burden.

The name “Godiva” conveys a sense of luxury, elegance, and a timeless story of bravery. It has become synonymous with the brand’s reputation for fine Belgian chocolates and has helped shape Godiva’s identity and legacy as a renowned chocolatier.
