Leonidas Cafe Chocolaterie

Leonidas Cafe ChocolaterieA century of freshness, generosity and tradition
Today, Leonidas is a world-renowned chocolate maker, selling over 100 different kinds of Belgian chocolate through 1,400 outlets around the world. Yet the beliefs that first inspired the company nearly one hundred years ago are as strong as ever.

Freshness
Leonidas guarantees the freshness and quality of its chocolates. They are always made according to traditional methods, using only the finest ingredients. 100% pure cocoa butter for the coating. Natural ingredients like fresh butter, fresh cream. And delicacies such as hazelnuts from Turkey, Morello cherries from the Périgord, almonds from Italy and walnuts from Grenoble. In short, the finest ingredients the world has to offer.

Generosity
Life is full of occasions to show your generosity by thinking of someone else. Whether it's a birthday, a party, dinner with friends, a romantic evening out or simply a gesture of thanks, they just keep popping up. Times when you want to show someone how much you love or appreciate them. Or moments you want to surprise, congratulate or simply spoil someone for no special reason at all. Whether the occasion's big or small, Leonidas chocolates make the perfect gift. The Leonidas slogan sums it all up: "Just think of someone".

Tradition
Our founder, Leonidas Kestekides, built his company around strong principles. Today, we defend those principles with pride - which is why we are so passionate about chocolate and will never compromise our long-standing tradition of total quality.

Tradition and quality in a modern setting
Although tradition is one of our core values, Leonidas often manages to surprise the market with innovative new products and flavors. Leonidas shops offer customers the best of both worlds. They can watch their chocolates being freshly packed into colorful gift boxes or bright gold ballotins in a fresh, modern environment.

did you know
A 2005 study based at Tufts University in Medford, MA found that dark chocolate actually helps to lower blood pressure. In a controlled experiment comparing 20 different people, researchers found that dark chocolate was a significant factor in lowering blood pressure, while white chocolate was not. The key ingredient thought to cause this phenomenon is flavonoids.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.

How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.

If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
