"Since then, Jens has gone on to open more Knoops stores, built a team of chocolate lovers around him, developed an at-home range of chocolate flakes, and even released a chocolate cookbook.

"The Knoops concept is based around our carefully curated percentage menu which offers chocolates to suit every taste and mood.

"We find joy in helping you to discover your perfect chocolate drink, and encourage experimentation with different percentage of chocolates and flavours in a process we call ‘Knoopology’."
