The Legacy of SOKOFRETA: A Greek Chocolate Delight
Discover the Journey of ION’s Signature Wafer Creation
When we speak about authentic Greek confectionery, the name that often pops up is ‘SOKOFRETA‘. Representing a harmonious blend of crispy wafer with rich chocolate, SOKOFRETA stands tall as one of the premium products from the house of ION.
A Historic Glimpse:
ION’s association with chocolate began long before the inception of SOKOFRETA. In fact, their maiden chocolate recipe took form as early as 1927. However, the brand itself was firmly established only in 1930. Nestled in Neo Faliro, Piraeus, the central ION factory stands as a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation.
Expanding Horizons:
Over the decades, ION didn’t confine itself to merely producing chocolates. They ventured into an array of confectionery items, introducing delightful variants like croissants and the indulgent spreadable chocolate. Yet, amidst all these innovations, two products garnered unmatched fame: their almond milk chocolate and the renowned chocolate wafer, SOKOFRETA.
What’s in a Name?
Ever wondered about the intriguing name ‘SOKOFRETA’? It’s a playful amalgamation of ‘choco’ (referring to chocolate) and ‘freta’ (derived from wafer). A name that aptly captures the essence of this delightful treat!
