A thriving Provençal family business
It all began in 1920 for this company which, initially, manufactured nougat then diversified with the manufacture of Calisson. In 1950, Confiserie du Roy René was already the leading producer of calissons in France. In the 1990s, Maurice Farine – you can't make this up when you talk about delicacies… – extended the range of products and set out to conquer the international market.
