The History of Leonidas

Made in Belgium since 1910, Leonidas famous Belgian chocolates reflect an unsurpassed tradition of quality and freshness.

 

Leonidas is a Belgian company bearing the Greek name of its original founder, Leonidas Kesdekidis, who arrived in Brussels as a member of the Greek delegation of the United States for the International Exposition and won the Bronze Medal.

 

In 1935, Leonidas' nephew, Basile Kesdekidis, followed in his uncle's footsteps, and became the head of the company and incorporated the logo showing the effigy of the Greek warrior Leonidas, King of Sparta.

 

Leonidas and Basile shared the same dream: to spread their chocolates throughout the world. It is in this spirit that their successors continue today, now supplying nearly 2000 Leonidas stores across the globe.
