This 100g pack includes 15 mini, iconic, elegant diamond/oval shaped calisson covered with a thin layer of smooth, bright white royal icing. Made with finely ground almonds and naturally flavored candied fruits like melon, orange peel, raspberry, fig, pear, and clementine, each piece is soft, smooth, and lightly glazed, offering a delicate texture and bright, fruity flavor.
Beautifully arranged in a sleek, giftable strip, these colorful treats are perfect for sharing, gifting, or enjoying as a unique sweet snack.
When eaten, a Léonard Parli calisson offers a multi-sensory experience: the initial slight crunch of the icing gives way to the unctuous, velvety, and delicately grainy paste, with the combined flavors of almond, melon, and hints of orange providing a refined, lingering sweetness. It is considered a gourmet delicacy that embodies the essence of Provençal confectionery and is a traditional part of the "13 desserts of Provence".
What is a French Calisson?
Calissons are a traditional French Provence candy made from ground almonds, candied fruit (like melon and orange peel), and sugar, formed into an oval shape, set on a wafer, and topped with a thin layer of icing. Soft and chewy with a delicate, fruity-almond flavor, it's a specialty of Aix-en-Provence.
