The History of Compartes Chocolatier


Compartes has been a Los Angeles tradition for over 60 years. Founded by Mrs. Comparte in 1950 on the principle of bringing European chocolate techniques, recipes and artistry to the United States, today Compartes gourmet chocolates continue to appeal to the most discerning chocoholics. Helmed by chocolate prodigy Jonathan Grahm, our modern and sophisticated chocolates are still made from scratch daily at our Los Angeles chocolate factory and storefront.  Steeped in the traditional European style of artisanal handcraftsmanship, with a whimsical hint of modern artistry, Compartes philosophy is simple: Our delicious artisan chocolate confections are handmade, using the freshest and best ingredients, for which we search worldwide. We believe everything should be made from scratch, using no artificial additives or preservatives, based on our credo that the more natural the ingredients, the better and tastier the product. Whether you fancy our traditional stuffed fruits, our newest eclectic selection of chocolate truffles, or gourmet chocolate confections, we have it all.

Our belief in the joy of chocolate inspires our team to create confections to be enjoyed with complete satisfaction, and to be loved and relished by all who taste them.
