Boissier: Nearly Two Centuries Later
PR95325
PARIS, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
In 1827, Belisaire Boissier left his province to conquer Paris, becoming the
confectioner for the most discerning palates of his time. He had the brilliant
idea of candying chestnuts to curb the decomposition process, and thus create
the marron glace, a new technique he applied to other confectionery products.

Maison Boissier became part of our gourmet heritage thanks to its candy balls,
lovely and smooth beads filled with fruit. Since always having candy on hand
was customary at the time, Boissier's sweets became the benchmark candy at
theatres and the opera.
Maison Boissier developed new products until the 1930s, taking care to
consistently showcase quality packaging and store decorations, until metal
boxes came along, which it turned into true works of art, now highly
sought-after by collectors.
Four generations and three wars later, the story could have ended for this
business, which laid dormant at the end of the 20th century. It was then
awakened, saved, preserved and revamped by enthusiasts Sylvie Douce and
François Jeantet, founders of the Salon du Chocolat and devoted fans of
exceptional products.
This revived a gourmet heritage and unique know-how blends tradition and modern
times. Marrons Glaces, Bonbons Boules, Froufrous, Perles Celestes, Petales de
Chocolat... Today, Boissier candies, still artisanal and natural, change with
the seasons and preserve their ingredients' authentic flavours.
Luxury French confectionery is finally reborn, revisiting the candy of
yesteryear for a whole new generation to discover.
