Calissons from Aix
Born in Aix-en-Provence, calissons are an iconic French confection, cherished since the Renaissance for their delicate flavor and soft, smooth texture.
Made from a refined blend of almonds (30%), candied fruits (melon and orange peel), sugar, and a light royal icing with egg white, all set on a thin layer of wafer paper, they offer a perfect harmony between softness and crunch.
In Provence, they are part of the 13 traditional Christmas desserts, symbolizing sweetness and tradition. Their aroma of almonds and candied fruits brings a touch of southern French sunshine to the heart of winter.
