Compartes—sometimes written Compartés—uses a chocolate legacy since 1950 as material for a current visual language. Jonathan Grahm has directed that revival, and the work is handcrafted in Los Angeles, California, by a small team of chocolatiers and artists drawing from art, fashion, design, and style.
Compartes' historical line starts with Mr. and Mrs. Compartes, who established the enterprise in 1950 and produced European-style confections in their Brentwood home. The Grahm family later took ownership, and Jonathan Grahm joined the making side at 15 years old.
The daily Los Angeles method still centers on small batches, with no conveyor belts, chocolate waterfalls, or high-tech machinery. The team continues creating, turning classic and nostalgic references into contemporary flavor and presentation.
Personal logos, event-specific designs, and custom branding are among the ways Compartes adapts chocolate for gifting. This work carries the brand's interest in art, design, and fashion into packaging and presentation made for a particular recipient or moment.
The chocolate and its visual treatment are planned as one experience.
Compartes looks both outward and locally for ingredients, favoring local suppliers when possible without turning that preference into an all-local claim. Farmers Market berries, citrus, and nuts from California orchards are among the cited sources.
The bars, truffles, and other confections are handcrafted around fresh, flavorful components.
The vegan chocolate collection begins with dark chocolate and high-quality ingredients rather than a universal catalog claim. Its flavors receive a contemporary turn, while the visual finish keeps chocolate close to design, art, and fashion.
