To Explore Our Range of Prestat Chocolates….
….is to go on an adventure – full of fun, indulgence, surprise and seduction. That is how we like to describe your Prestat experience. For over 100 years our chocolates and truffles have been enjoyed by everyone - from royalty, stars of the stage and screen, families and children around the world, from as far flung places as Singapore and Australia.
Our roots begin in 1902 in London by Chocolatier extraordinaire Antoine Dufour, following his family's creation of the chocolate truffle in Chambery, France, in 1895. Antoine saw an opportunity to bring his skills to London, where chocolate cafes and shops known as Refreshment Rooms were growing in popularity. With Antoine’s flair for creativity and perfection, Prestat became an instant success.
What enables us to be creative is that unlike many chocolatiers – focusing purely on profit - Prestat has managed to withhold the growing trend of the readymade product. At Prestat we ensure all our chocolates are hand-crafted and filled and gift wrapped under the same roof, and more importantly under the same watchful gaze of our qualified and talented chocolatiers.
As much as we care for our chocolates, we also believe that presentation is also key to the experience. With the help of our artist friend Kitty Arden we have created gift boxes that are a veritable feast for the eyes. Many customers have said that the box is as beautiful as the chocolates inside. Although the taste of our chocolates comes first, with our elegant packaging we seek to reflect the joy and fun of our chocolate, all adding to the experience. When you place one of our chocolates in your mouth, simply let your taste buds do the talking. And once the delicious chocolates have been consumed one is left with a beautiful box to keep to eternity.
