Artisan Confections Co

Joseph Schmidt Confections is a manufacturer of chocolate treats. The confectioner develops new techniques in chocolate, including his signature egg-shaped truffle, which has become the company's trademark. In an overly traditional field, Schmidt creates unique truffles, pralines and other chocolate creations with a bold, clean, crisp look. The company s products can be purchased online and include chocolate bars, hot chocolate, cookies, truffles and chocolate gems. Schmidt, a European-trained baker, and his partner, a European-trained confectioner, opened their first store selling baked goods and chocolates in 1983. The company is located in San Francisco, Calif.
