Hi, we are djoon!
A food startup from Munich and we want to make sweets healthier and sustainable.

We create delicious pralines and chocolates using the finest dates in the universe, handcrafted in our factory in Munich-Trudering. All of them are vegan, organic, and sugar-free!

A lot has happened since our founding in 2021:
We have produced and sold more than 2,500,000 chocolates, developed over 30 new products and are now a team of more than 50 djoonistas.

And we still have sooooo much planned! Are you in?
