Interestingly, there’s a geographical divide here – in northern hemisphere Europe, milk chocolate is the preference (it’s Knoops bestseller in the UK), while mild dark chocolate - between 50% and 70% - is the go-to in South America.
Now, Knoops cafés are popping up throughout the country, offering you the chance to create bespoke drinks (I’m a 70 per-cent dark chocolate girl with oat milk, in case you’re asking).

Knoops favours milk chocolate, but says it’s down to personal preference.
