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.
