www.recchiuticonfections.com. In 1997, Michael Recchiuti and his wife Jacky began Recchiuti Confections in San Francisco, with the idea that if you introduce people to truly exquisite chocolates they will be won over instantly and forever. Then, as now, Michael painstakingly selects each ingredient that goes into the final confection. Michael’s love for art, food and life are told in the chocolates he still makes and sells in San Francisco. It is a truly artisanal and decadent experience.
