The Royal Warrant Holding Chocolatier
Prestat was established in 1902 in London by Chocolatier extraordinaire Antoine Dufour, following his family’s creation of the chocolate truffle in Chambery, France, in 1895. Prestat is well known for its fine hand rolled truffles based on a secret recipe originally produced to satisfy the appetite of Napoleon III whilst he was in exile in London. Prestat cho
colates travelled the world on board the Royal Yacht Britannia and in 1975, Prestat had the honour of being awarded a Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth II. To Prestat’s further delight, it was awarded a second Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in her centenary year. For over 100 years, our chocolates and truffles have been enjoyed by kings and queens, sultans and maharajas, princesses and presidents, stars of stage and screen, indeed by anyone who delights in the pleasure that only the finest chocolate brings. Today Prestat is one of the very few Chocolate business still to manufacture its own chocolates at its modern artisan factory in Park Royal North London.
