He's the undisputed King of Chocolate. Ernst Knam, born in 1963, German by birth and Milanese by adoption, after many years spent in the kitchens of the world's greatest starred and prestigious restaurants, arrived in Italy and joined Gualtiero Marchesi's kitchen as a Master Pastry Chef, the final step in his training before embarking on his entrepreneurial journey. In 1992, he opened his now historic pastry shop at 10 via Anfossi in Milan, which since 2015 has been named "Pasticceria Ernst Knam," a world where creativity is the order of the day. Knam has become a well-known and beloved television personality thanks to the programs "Il Re del Cioccolato" (The King of Chocolate) and "Bake Off Italia." He recently celebrated the milestone of 25 years in the world of haute cuisine, pastry, and chocolate.
