Family-Owned Swiss Chocolatier, Andre's Confiserie Suisse, To Attend 64th Annual Summer Fancy Food Show

Andre’s Confiserie Suisse, a family-owned chocolatier built upon three generations of Swiss confiseurs, will debut its newly designed packaging with a selection of wholesale products at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City 30 June – 2 July 2018.

The full rebrand of packaging is the first in its 63 years of business and reflects its rich Swiss heritage. Using the colors of the Swiss flag and elaborate scherenschnitte detail, the new packaging embodies the Swiss tradition and history that surrounds the Bollier family and their craft. The Bollier family will introduce Summer Fancy Food Show attendees to a selection of Swiss favorites offered for wholesale, including: 

• Chocolate Covered Almonds: Fresh nonpareil almonds roasted to a golden brown, delicately caramelized and coated with Andre’s signature Swiss chocolate. Available in Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate or boxes with Mixed Milk and Dark Chocolate. 
• Fleur de Sel Caramels: Andre’s finest French sea salt caramels covered with signature Swiss milk and dark chocolate. Caramels are made by hand from pure cane sugar. 
• Orange Peels: A signature product with fresh oranges that are peeled, blanched, delicately candied, then coated in Andre’s signature Swiss dark chocolate. 

Master Konditor-Confiseur, Andre Bollier, and his wife Elsbeth first opened Andre’s in 1955. The couple emigrated from Switzerland to Kansas City to open a traditional Swiss Confiserie as the first of its kind in the Midwest, producing only the highest quality confections in the Swiss tradition. Rene Bollier, grandson of Andre, is honored to take the business into its third generation. Like his father and grandfather before him, Rene trained in Switzerland where he immersed himself in the art of Swiss techniques and classic recipes. While honoring that tradition, Rene is known for bringing his personal passion, ingenuity and pride to create distinctive chocolate experiences that can only be found at Andre’s. 

"Since the beginning, our family has had a passion for creating luxury chocolate candies. My grandfather, father, and myself have strived to create the very best products using only the highest quality ingredients. This passion is one of the main reasons why Andre's has been a successful family business for three generations." said Rene Bollier, owner of Andre’s Confiserie Suisse. “We’re very excited to debut our new packaging that features a traditional Swiss scherenschnitte design. Like the detailed art of scherenschnitte, we strive to bring the same precision and beauty to chocolate making." Summer Fancy Food Show attendees are invited to sample Andre’s premier hand-crafted chocolates alongside Rene Bollier.
