His shop is a reflection of all his years of studying the art of chocolate and candy. Everything in his chocolates are made by his shop - not purchased.

While we are on the subject, did I mention its organic, eco-friendly chocolate. No bad thAng, thAngs in it. All natural. No preservatives... all that stuff.

They asked if I liked chocolate and I said of course so they said follow us we are going to the best chocolate factory in Europe. We walked along nondescript retail stores on a busy street searching for a chocolate factory. I thought maybe they forgot where it was but in the distance after about 8 blocks I saw a chocolate sign and on our side of the modern factory building. Inside the retail area it was packed with customers but it's easy getting around the shop. Keep an eye out for samples located throughout the store. They are generous with samples and helped me decide which chocolates to purchase. Great variety of chocolates and prices are reasonable. Staff is helpful and friendly and at checkout the cashier even threw in a handful of chocolates for free
