Leaving the court of Gualtiero Marchesi, in 1992 Ernst Knam decided to pursue a solo career and opened, a short walk from downtown Milan, l’Antica Arte del Dolce.

Here pour the many experiences throughout the world that have inspired Knam, to use spices and fruits, almost extraordinary for their taste, their scents and thier colors.

Particular combinations and the best raw materials in baked goods and mousse, pralines, the creations of Knam like Kubo, truffles and Knamotto.
Ernst Knams genius imposes itself in the view of the new philosophy of italian gastronomy, with unusual recipes and combinations.

The 25 years experience of travel and searching for the different cultures which deeply inspired his creativity, appears in every product of his store.

Genius and leadership that are embodied by the people, which increasingly appreciate these creations, and the gastronomical criticism that has recently defined Ernst Knam "the Best Pastry Cook in Milan."

Ernst Knam is not only sweets, in the store he can manage a meal from starters to dessert and find the right wine.

The Antica Pastry with his cellar ranges from bubbles to spirits, coffee, spices and sugars and is both a point of departure and arrival to organize a special evening.

The troupe of online magazine www.chefdicucinamagazine.com, dedicate a report to Ernst Knam, to the production and his staff, to tell you how to perform our work.
