Charles Chocolates was founded in 2004 by self-taught chocolatier Chuck (Charles) Siegel. The company makes artisan confections in San Francisco, California, guided by his belief that chocolate should be treated as fresh food. Siegel's involvement in the Bay Area chocolate community began in 1987. After his earlier company, Attivo, he returned to confection making with an emphasis on ingredient quality, hand preparation, and small batches. That approach gives the business a practical focus on how each recipe tastes and feels, from its chocolate base to its individual inclusions.
Pavés are fresh cream chocolate truffles with a smooth chocolate-and-cream center and a light dusting of Valrhona cocoa powder. The box is available in 16-piece and 36-piece sizes. This product has a specific storage requirement: keep it refrigerated and enjoy it within one week, rather than using the general storage advice for other chocolates.
The finished confections are handcrafted in San Francisco, California. This identifies where the product is made; the origin of every cacao ingredient, flavoring, and packaging component has not been documented as American. Ingredient origins are stated only for the specific nuts or fruit identified in the recipe. The listing does not claim that all ingredients were grown or produced in the United States.
Keep Pavés refrigerated and enjoy them within one week. This fresh-cream product has a specific refrigeration instruction that takes priority over the maker's general guidance for other chocolates. Keep the box protected from strong odors and moisture, and return any unused truffles to refrigerated storage. Bring the delivery indoors promptly and follow the package's current handling directions. Do not apply a general four-week storage recommendation to this product.
