Handmade Chocolates at Café La Strada

Café La Strada is pleased to show off their range of beautifully handmade chocolates by Lauden & Crème D’Or.

About Lauden….

Lauden Chocolate was born out of frustration by the owners not being able to buy fine chocolate where they live. So, Sun & Stephen (the owners) spent all their spare time learning & researching ingredients to make the finest chocolates in the world. A tall order, but one they are certainly on the road to success with when they won a Bronze at the Academy of Choclate Awards in 2009 for the Best Dark Truffle.
Sun a chocolatier herself found the company was growing so quickly, they recently opened their factory in Leeds.

“It’s so lovely to have such a fine product being thought of & made here in Britain. We are very lucky to have their beautiful range in La Strada” – Jude Kelly Owner of Café La Strada.

About Crème D’Or…

Crème D’Or was established in 1991. Importing the highest quality products from all over Europe.
Over time we have built up key partnerships to offer a wide & varied range of chocolates & confectionary.
All of our counter chocolates have excellent ingredients & are hand finished for that personal touch.
