Our Chocolate Bar Line… Also Available…
Like the subtle nuances in wine making, the alchemy of fruity, spicy, nuttiness, bitterness with the balance of acid lends
to the parity of flavors in each blend Michael creates.
We’ve augmented our solid bar line with four bars with “inclusions” – embellished with dried fruits, caramelized nuts
and toasted sesame.
Our Chocolate Bar Line…
DARK MILK CHOCOLATE BAR
ALMOND BAR
ORCHARD BAR
BITTERSWEET BAR
Michael chose to augment the
flavor of milk chocolate by adding
a soupçon more of dark
chocolate. The creaminess of the
milk is still discernable without
sacrificing the character of the
cacao.
Michael’s proprietary Semisweet
blend is flecked with toasted
almonds caramelized in smoky
burnt sugar and a hint of
saltiness... his signature style.
Caramelized almond, wine-like
black currant and earth mulberry
accentuate the deep cacao profile
of the Semisweet chocolate.
A caramelized nougat is enfolded
with darkly toasted white sesame
seeds, then speckled into Dark
Milk Chocolate with a trace of
salt.

In keeping with traditional methods, we steep herbs and teas in warmed cream to concoct an infusion. To compose
truffles, ganache is hand sliced, then enrobed. Fresh citrus is candied the old-fashion way – filleted, blanched three
times then cooked for hours until gelée-like – before being coated with chocolate.

At Recchiuti Confections we like to dig deep into processes – it’s at the very core of what led us to cultivation the
technique of panning in-house. A panned confection, also referred to as a dragée (from the French verb to dredge),
describes the method of thinly coating nuts or fruits layer by layer, with as little as twenty coats or as many as sixty. The
number of layers is driven by balancing equal part nut or fruit to chocolate. Manipulated by hand, the layers give
complexity to the final taste. The painstaking, Old World process allows us to recreate familiar treats from childhood.
Our Featured Dragées…
BURNT CARAMEL ALMONDS
CHERRIES TWO WAYS
ASPHALT JUNGLE
Darkly toasted organic California
almonds are coated with
alternating layers of burnt
caramel and semisweet dark
chocolate. To brighten the flavor
it’s imbibed with Fleur de Sel
before getting a final coating of
dark chocolate and then a dusting
of cocoa powder.
The tartness from dried Morello
cherries and sweet candied
Amareno cherries is countered by
the richness of dark chocolate
coating. When eaten together,
the combination creates a sweetsour flavor, much like a cherry
cordial. The perfect marriage of
the Italians – cherries and
Recchiuti that is.
What do you get when you bring
together our signature panned
line of Burnt Caramel Almonds,
Burnt Caramel Hazelnuts,
Cherries Two Ways and Peanut
Butter Pearls? A notoriously
lawless combination of flavors!

When we say burnt…we mean burnt! Michael loves to draw out deep smoky aspects in confection making. Sugar is
cooked down literally to the point of carbonizing, bringing forward the profound caramel tones reminiscent of a woodaged whiskey. Michael’s unique palette for “burnt” is pleasantly noticeable across our confectionary line.

CARAMELS TO THE THIRD POWER (C3)

Inspired by old-fashioned soda fountain shops, Michael has taken all the sumptuous components in concocting our
sauces. Cream and butter are blended with burnt sugar and cooked to a golden liquescent sauce. Chocolate is
coalesced with vanilla beans and heated to a gossamer rivulet. The alchemy of these liquid effusions turns a traditional
ice-cream shop treat into an indulgent transgression.
Our Best-selling Sauces…
BURNT CARAMEL SAUCE
EXTRA-BITTER CHOCOLATE SAUCE
An amalgamation of carbonized sugar, butter and cream can
only mean one thing – caramel the Recchiuti way. Rich scent
of “whiskey barrel” caramel notes make this sauce the perfect
one to pair with pungent blue cheese, drizzle over fruits and
berries, or scoop straight out of the jar for a midnight snack.
Formulated with our proprietary blend of semisweet coverture, dark
chocolate is infused with the floral sweetness of real vanilla beans,
cocoa powder and fresh cream. Thick and ripe with the deep rich
aromas of chocolate, a versatile sauce for a dessert topping or to whip
into steamed milk for a quick hot chocolate.

DARK HOT CHOCOLATE PISTOLES | As with many of our products, we approach hot drinking chocolate in a very distinctive way. A select blend of
coverture is piped into tiny drops of chocolate. These droplets of chocolate melt away quickly when whisked into boiling water to make thick Old
World European-style hot chocolate. If steamed milk is your preference, a creamy rich cup of American style hot chocolate can be made that will
warm up a misty, damp afternoon. Should a cup of hot chocolate not satisfy a sweet tooth, our pistoles are versatile enough to be used in baking
your favorite chocolate-chip cookie recipe! UNIT WEIGHT: 6 servings, 12 ounces; CASE PACK: 12 boxes; SHELF LIFE: 12 months
Michael Recchiuti has been conjuring up sweets all his life. His preference for the bold and innovative led him to San
Francisco. Michael found new inspiration in the year-round availability of fresh ingredients and exotic, unexpected
flavors. He was especially fascinated by the way unlikely flavors, typically found in savory cooking, took on new
dimensions and depth when combined with chocolate. This kind of curiosity lends itself to the inception of our pairing
collection.

We forage the west coast for the herbs, fruits and nuts that we integrate into our recipes-it’s our modus operandi. We
blend several single origin chocolates to achieve the desired hue and acidity for new flavors profiles, meticulously
seeing to each step that turns fine ingredients into finer confections, using traditional European techniques and
equipment. With prime resources in hand, Michael and his team are able to create unique but familiar specialty
offerings to bring to you.
The Recchiuti Specialties…
PATES DE FRUITS
KEY LIME APPLES
PEPPERMINT THINS
The dazzling flavors of fresh fruit burst from
each elegant square gelée. A long time French
favorite, the gorgeously simple Pates de Fruits
is finally receiving the popularity it deserves.
Four flavors which include Morello Cherry,
Passion Fruit, Blueberry, and Pear-Lime.
Gelatin-Free.
An uncommon combination of tart Granny
Smith apples and citrusy Key Lime juice makes
a fresh, fruity nibble. Thinly sliced apples are
soaked in key lime juice, and then slowly dried
to a crisp wafer. A delicate layer of semisweet
finishes the fruit with a beautiful veneer of
dark chocolate. A favorite dessert garnish of
Michael’s is now a quick pick-me-up bite.
Organic peppermint found in the Willamette
Valley in Oregon was Michael’s choice when
recreating a childhood favorite…”Junior
Mints.” Inclusions of fresh peppermint and
peppermint oil are intermixed with housemade fondant before slightly coating with our
custom semisweet blend.
