About

At Bissinger's, we believe in the art of handcrafting chocolates and take our love of chocolate very seriously. Our goal has never been to be the biggest chocolatier in the world, only the finest.

Founding Story

OUR STORY BEGINS IN 1668 - PARIS, FRANCE.

At Bissinger's, we take our profound love of chocolate very seriously. Our rich history of confection craftsmanship has endured for over 350 years, and the Bissinger family's singular passion and privilege to hand craft the finest chocolate in the world still remains. Once confectioner to the King of France and European nobility, the Bissinger's name has been one of the longest standing names in the confectionery industry. To this day, we remain a family owned business with a true appreciation and love for chocolate.

Our confections were originally created and enjoyed by European nobility and today, we still use the same timeless recipes, crafted in new and inventive ways for all who appreciate a truly luxurious chocolate experience.

We believe in preserving the old world techniques necessary for exquisite quality, using copper kettles and preparing our recipes in small batches using fresh ingredients.

Our goal has never been to be the biggest chocolatier in the world, only the finest.

We proudly wear the Bissinger family crest as a constant reminder that we are the guardians of a distinctive legacy of European chocolate excellence.
