About this listen

Imagine the opulence of the Court of King Louis XIV, hosting lavish balls and welcoming dignitaries from around Europe to the Palace of Versailles, France. Among the delicacies that were served were Bissinger's chocolates. The family was granted the title of Confiseur Imperial (Confectioner of the Empire) by Louis. Those scratch-made, hand-crafted chocolate treats are still made today in St. Louis, Missouri. On this episode of the Real Food Traveler Podcast, we chat with Dan Abel, Jr., Chief Chocolate Officer at Bissinger's Handcrafted Chocolatier. We talk about what's so special about their chocolates that still create demand 350 years later and how they keep up with the times to ensure the family-run company's legacy. See some examples of Bissinger's chocolates and get live links to their site on RealFoodTraveler.com.
