To make the luxury of chocolate accessible to everyone. That was the lifelong dream of our founding father, Leonidas Kestekides. Today, it has become the mission statement of the Leonidas brand.

The story of Leonidas Kestekides, a Greek confectioner, started in 1913 when together with his Belgian wife, he opened a tea room in Ghent. A couple of years later, Leonidas and his nephew Basilio moved to Brussels, where they rapidly became the preferred Belgian chocolates.

The ingredients of their success? Fresh Belgian chocolates made of high-quality ingredients and affordable to everyone.

To this day, Leonidas still uses its know-how and passion to create outstanding chocolates,  made with 100% cocoa butter.

In 2013, Leonidas received the recognition of Royal Warrant  Holder to the Belgian Royal House: the culmination of more than 100 years of craftsmanship.

 

Leonidas has a unique positioning on the market and therefore looking to expand in all major cities in UK.
