Discover how Jonathan Grahm transformed Compartés into America’s most celebrated artisanal chocolatier. From LA-inspired flavors to award-winning packaging, experience chocolate as art.
Jonathan Grahm might be the closest real-life Willy Wonka. He started making chocolates at Compartés at age 15 and turned a traditional candy shop into one of the most recognized gourmet chocolate companies in the USA.
From LA to the World
-
Growing up in Los Angeles, Jonathan drew inspiration from his city.
-
His California Love bar features palm trees and pink sunsets.
-
Donuts & Coffee uses donuts from a shop he has visited for 20+ years.
-
Strawberry Shortcake came from his favorite childhood ice cream.
Every flavor has a story. Each bar connects memory with taste.
Building a Signature Chocolate
Jonathan wanted to create chocolate from the ground up. He sampled cocoa from hundreds of farms before deciding on Compartés profiles:
-
Dark Chocolate – 73% cocoa, balanced flavor.
-
Milk Chocolate – smooth and rich.
-
White Chocolate – often called one of the best in the world.
Have you ever disliked white chocolate? You might change your mind after tasting Compartés.
Global Influences
-
Early trips to Venezuela introduced him to tropical cocoa.
-
His family winery in Los Angeles taught him food and flavor.
-
Time in Paris and Italy sharpened his palate.
-
He once mapped out 74 Paris croissant stops—just for research.
Jonathan treats chocolate as a lifelong study. Taste testing, traveling, and research guide every recipe.
Chocolate as Art
Jonathan also designs Compartés packaging. Tired of plain chocolate bars, he started creating bold designs 12+ years ago.
-
Striking colors and graphics made Compartés stand out.
-
Every bar is meant to be remembered—both for its taste and look.
-
Compartés lives by the motto “Chocolate As Art.”
Why Compartés Stands Out
-
Handmade with premium ingredients.
-
Flavors inspired by culture, travel, and nostalgia.
-
Packaging designed as collectible art.
-
Chocolate gifts that surprise and delight with every bite.
When you buy a Compartés bar, you’re not just eating chocolate. You’re experiencing Jonathan Grahm’s vision of food, art, and memory.
