a note from
a look at
Michael + Jacky
“I think any
chocolate lover
interested in outof-the-ordinary
ingredients will be
intrigued by these
confections!” Those
are the words of a
longtime Recchiuti Confections customer.
Our supporters, like this one, drive us to
maintain the character of our product and
business integrity. Our loyal customers
create the passion for what we do – to make
us reach for the finest of ingredients, for
incomparable design, premium resources
that support our objective in inventing
recipes, packaging and a culture that speaks
to our esteem for craftspeople.
The bay area offers so much in seasonal
foods, culture, art, music, architecture
and of course, the people who inspire our
vision. We created this new catalog in
order to share with you the way we make
our confections, the services we offer, the
2
What’s Inside
people and organizations who inspire us,
and the seasonal changes of flavor and
sensibility. What we present is a culmination
of what surrounds us here in San Francisco
– our cultural terroir. Like coffee, wine +
chocolate, the people behind Recchiuti
are influenced by our surroundings and
cultivates the Recchiuti portrait.
We are forward-looking, finding new
connections for future provenance of ideas,
places to be, projects to spark – all with
the enjoyment of Recchiuti-izing you into
our tribe. Michael and I hope to see you
on this on-going journey. We’re in for an
entertaining ride.

What is Panning?
At Recchiuti, we like to dig deep into processes. It’s the very core that led us to cultivating the
technique of panning in-house. Panning is an old world process of thinly coating nuts + fruits with
chocolate. The number of layers is driven by balancing equal part nut or fruit to chocolate.
