K & M Chocolate

K+M Chocolate is a Napa Valley, California, chocolate brand created through a collaboration between Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller and Italian olive oil producer Armando Manni. Their shared ambition is to make high-quality chocolate, combining carefully selected cacao with meticulous craftsmanship and inventive flavor ideas.

The brand offers bean-to-bar milk and dark chocolate, with cacao roasted, ground, and molded by hand in Napa Valley. Its K+M Extravirgin Chocolate range adds a small amount of Manni organic extra-virgin olive oil, which the company says gives the chocolate a silky texture and complements the cocoa’s flavors. The collection also includes chocolates with distinctive inclusions and flavor combinations.

Beyond chocolate bars, K+M makes dragées and other confections, rich chocolate beverages, seasonal offerings, and boxed gift sets. Its chef’s chocolate is designed for professional pastry chefs and chocolatiers, as well as home cooks seeking premium ingredients, and is used in the pastry kitchens of The French Laundry, Per Se, and Bouchon Bistro.
