Anatolia Leonidas Georges Kestekides was born in Nigde, Turkey.
Back then, nobody knew that Leonidas Kestekides would become someone who follows his heart and realises his dreams. It all started when he was still young and took to the streets with his brother Avraam to sell granita and other sweets. At that time, Leonidas and his brother lived in a politically and economically unstable region and they sold these sweets to survive.

Since 1 October 2021, we at Leonidas are using certified cocoa to make our chocolates. A transition that makes perfect sense, given that since 1913 we have been striving to create moments of happiness for everyone with chocolate.
Thanks to this certification, the living and working conditions of 2.450 cocoa growers and their families have been improved.
By supporting a fair and stable wage for the growers, we participate in our own way in building a better world for humanity and the planet.
For more happiness and because Leonidas chocolates wish to be accessible to everyone, we assume all the costs involved in this commitment to sustainable cocoa without increasing our retail prices.
