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.

UNIT WEIGHT: 1 bar, 3 ounces; CASE PACK: 12 bars; SHELF LIFE: 6 months FÈVE BAR | A French word for “broad bean,” fève is commonly used to describe cacao nibs. Toasted fève weaves complexity and texture to our deepest, darkest chocolate bar. UNIT WEIGHT: 1 bar, 3 ounces; CASE PACK: 12 bars; SHELF LIFE: 12 months 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.

Each truffle is carefully cultivated by underscoring the delicate balance of creamy chocolate ganache with delicate infusions. UNIT WEIGHT: 32 pieces, 13.25 ounces; CASE PACK: 6 boxes; SHELF LIFE: 5 weeks 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!

UNIT WEIGHT: 12 ounces; CASE PACK: 12 boxes; SHELF LIFE: 4 months 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. Our Best-selling Caramels… CARAMELS TO THE THIRD POWER (C3) FLEUR DE SEL CARAMELS 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. UNIT WEIGHT: 24 pieces, 6 ounces CASE PACK: 12 boxes SHELF LIFE: 6 months There is a reason why The New York Times named our Fleur de Sel Caramel one of the best handmade chocolate-covered salted caramels.

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.

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.

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. Our Pairing Collections… RED WINE PAIRING BOX WHISKEY PAIRING BOX Whether your inclination is to a spicy Zinfandel or a deep fruit forward Cabernet Sauvignon, we have the truffle for you. Star Anise Pink Peppercorn and Spring Jasmine Tea are two of the truffles spotlighted to pair with our recommended red wines or with your preferred choice.
