迈克尔·瑞奇蒂（Michael Recchiuti）和他的妻子杰基（Jacky）是后面的手Recchiuti糖果，一个小型工匠研讨会，藏在旧金山的一栋庞大的工业仓库中。迈克尔将他对巧克力制作艰苦的工艺的热爱归因于他的培训，“做有关细节的工作。”他笑着回忆起一位法国主人，“我与之合作过的最困难的人之一，他教了我一切。”

Recchiuti chocolates are known not just for their exquisite looks but for their exotic infusions, with flavors that Michael insists must provide “a subtle background while letting the chocolate’s character and intensity come through,” like Kona coffee, star anise, fresh ginger, even rose oil. “A lot of chocolate makers flavor with booze,” he says, “but I think it masks true chocolate flavor.”
