Knipschildt Chocolatier was founded in 1999 by Fritz Knipschildt, who began his culinary journey as a chef in Odense, Denmark. The most-expensive chocolate he sells–a $250 dark chocolate truffle with a French black truffle inside–is available only on a preorder-only basis. It’s made of 70% Valrhona cacao, which is blended into a creamy ganache with truffle oil. The truffle is then magnificantly hand-rolled with a dark truffle on the inside and dusted with cocoa powder.Chocopologie is much more than a chocolate factory in Connecticut—it’s an trendy European-style café that serves light fare from 7 a.m. to midnight, including specialty coffees and teas, and, of course, some of the finest chocolates in the United States.
