The Legend of Lir 

The name Lir comes from the Irish Legend of the Children of Lir. Lir was a powerful King of the magical Tuatha De Dannann, one of the earliest tribes to inhabit Ireland. On the death of his beloved Queen, Lir married her sister Aoife so his children would have a loving mother. Aoife was intensely jealous of Lir's love for his four children and by powerful sorcery, she transformed them into four white swans. The story of the children of Lir is a legend of deep mystery, magical powers, poetry, love, beauty and passion and our chocolatiers draw on many of these elements to create our chocolate collections.
