If you haven't already experienced and fallen in love with Recchiuti Chocolates, well you have no idea what you've been missing! Valentine's Day has always been and continues to be my favorite holiday. Everything about that day just feels special. On top of that list is delivery of fine chocolate that seems to always make it my way. I'm a very lucky lady! By the way, I was told a very long time ago that any chocolate that you receive on or within one week of Valentine's Day is devoid of even a single calorie. You may think that sounds ridiculous, but to that I would only say, "it works for me" :)
Okay, well I received a few different boxes that were all quite divine. However, the one that really stood out was the gorgeous box from Recchiuti Confections. First of all, I am someone that is always attracted to all beautifully elegant and sophisticated packaging.... CHECK! The heavy handmade boxes are stunning, as is the satin ribbon and thick tissue inside the box. Then I tend to survey the assortment and choose the prettiest one first. Not an easy feat on this one. The hand drawn designs were all so finely done that I actually just couldn't make up my mind. Finally though I just decided to close my eyes and take one out. As far as I'm concerned, there is no thinking involved when it comes to whether or not chocolate is to my liking. I'm not a person that thinks that any chocolate is good chocolate! I would only say that if and when (as is generally the case) the finest ingredients are used, the chocolate will at the very least be passable. The first piece that I chose was so much more than "passable"! The smoothness was sublime, and the taste was decadent and just plain and simply delicious! This San Francisco based company has clearly spared no expense when it comes to each and every aspect of this amazing chocolate, and it really feels as though you are viewing and experiencing great art when you enjoy the luxury of this incredibly fine chocolate. I fully intend to place an order for a few other scrumptious treats from this amazing chocolatier, and I will be sure to keep you posted! They are located in the Ferry Building in San Francisco California, and they are store #30. No need to be upset if you're not in the area because thankfully (for all of us) they also have a beautiful website where you can order from any place in the country. If you would prefer to phone them, the telephone # is 415-834-9494. If you would like to explore the site and or place an order the website is www.recchiuti.com
