There is a particular kind of pleasure reserved for airport departures — the unhurried browse, the perfect gift discovered at the last moment, the indulgence you allow yourself before a long flight. From 29 June 2026, that pleasure gets a little richer at T1 Sydney International Airport, as Läderach Chocolatier Suisse opens its first-ever chocolaterie in Australia.
Founded in 1962 in the Swiss canton of Glarus, Läderach is a third-generation family business with full command of every stage of its craft. Unlike most chocolatiers, Läderach oversees the entire process—from responsibly sourced cocoa beans to the finished chocolate behind the counter—with every creation produced exclusively in Glarus before being delivered fresh to its chocolateries worldwide.
That commitment to freshness is best expressed through FrischSchoggi—Läderach’s signature fresh chocolate, presented as handcrafted slabs that are broken by hand and sold by weight. More than a purchase, it’s an experience: choose your favourite slab, watch it broken before you, and take home chocolate crafted at its freshest.
Today, brothers Johannes, Elias, and David Läderach lead the family company across more than 260 chocolateries in 30 countries. Among them, Elias—a World Chocolate Master—continues the brand’s uncompromising commitment to Swiss craftsmanship, quality, and innovation.
