Owner of Dallmann Confections
Handcrafted Chocolates. Family Traditions. Pure Joy.
At Dallmann Confections, every chocolate tells a story—a story that begins in a small village outside Salzburg, Austria, and continues in sunny San Diego.
Our founder, Isabella Knack, grew up surrounded by the sweet aromas of her family’s pastry shop. Her grandfather, Guenther Dallmann, opened the original shop in 1954 in St. Gilgen, where he passed down his love for fine pastries and chocolate-making. Today, Isabella carries that legacy forward, blending Old World techniques with a fresh, modern twist.
What Makes Us Different
✔️ Generations of Expertise
We’re proud to be a woman-owned, family-operated business spanning three generations of chocolate artistry.
✔️ Handcrafted with Purpose
Every chocolate is made by hand using only the finest couverture and natural ingredients—never shortcuts, never preservatives.
✔️ Art Meets Flavor
From our hand-painted truffles to our seasonal collections, we believe chocolate should be as beautiful as it is delicious.
✔️ A Family Affair
When you enjoy Dallmann chocolates, you’re sharing in the passion of our entire family—Isabella, her husband Jayson, and their three sweet, spirited kids: Malia, Lilly, and Ben.
Our Mission
We create chocolate experiences that spark joy, celebrate life’s little moments, and honor the timeless craft of chocolate-making.
Our Journey from Austria to You
From Guenther’s pastry shop in Austria to the Dallmann kitchen in San Diego, our chocolates travel with heart, heritage, and a whole lot of flavor. Whether you’re gifting, celebrating, or treating yourself, we’re honored to be part of your sweetest moments.
