Nilgiris. The Queen of Mountains though has housed many Kings & Dynasties, the place secured a separate recognition only under the British Administration.In the earlier era, when the Summer times hit hard, the Britishers moved down to cooler places like Ooty. As the period crossed by, The Madras Presidency announced Ooty as the summertime vacation town.
Also, The Britishers always had a craving for Chocolates. Hence they started to import Chocolates from the Foreign Lands – the European countries. In this way, chocolates were introduced in India. However, owing to the hot climatic conditions in India the chocolates could not stay for a longer period of time and started to melt.
Mr. D.R. Davis got an idea of opening his own Chocolate factory & outlet in Ooty, as the Queen of mountains held the best climatic conditions. He named the Chocolate Factory & outlet as Davis Confectionaries. As time passed by, Mr. Thambuswamy learnt the trade from Mr. D.R. Davis on the traditional British recipes, the art of mixing, cutting & carving of chocolates & the chocolate making process.
After The British started moving out of India, gradually giving our Motherland Independence in 1947, Mr. Thambuswamy went into the process of starting his own Chocolate Factory & outlet and named the same as The King Star High Class English Confectionary started in the year 1942. This Confectionary trade has been running in the family for decades now, generations after generations from the Sons to Grandsons & now run by the Great Grand Children of the Thambuswamy Family.
King Star Chocolates now has around 100s of varieties; new flavours of chocolates are being introduced every other day.

Dark chocolate contains the least amount of added ingredients, milk chocolate has the least amount of cocoa liquor, and white chocolate contains the most flavouring; as ingredients are cooked together, the special rich creamy taste of King Star Chocolates is produced.
It was King Star that brought Ooty in the picture for the first time for its delicious homemade chocolates. Back in 1942, it was the only place where homemade chocolates were sold, a speciality of Ooty now selling some of the most delectable varieties of chocolates.
