How did the Manon
come about?
Famous, highly desirable, wanted, and loved, the Manon as we know it today is unique. How did it come about?
In 1980, the Manon was filled with a nougatine-based preparation, topped with a walnut, and coated with a layer of sugar. It was Jean Kesdekoglu-Kestekidis, one of Leonidas' family members, who changed the recipe.
With this new recipe, Jean created a worldwide sensation. He had the brilliant idea of replacing sugar with white chocolate. At the time, no one else in the world was making pralines from white chocolate. The walnut was then replaced by a hazelnut, which can be roasted and therefore kept longer. Finally, he replaced the nougatine with the famous buttercream. This new recipe gave birth to the Manon, the same product we still love to this day.
