What is a calisson? A calisson is a traditional French 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. Discover a timeless treat with this Traditional Box of Calissons from Leonard Parli, a renowned confectioner since 1874. These classic almond-shaped sweets are handcrafted using a blend of finely ground almonds, candied melon, and orange peel, then topped with a delicate layer of royal icing and set on a thin wafer. Soft, smooth, and subtly sweet, each piece offers a unique texture and flavor that captures the essence of old-world candy making. Beautifully packaged in a signature keepsake box, it’s a perfect gift or elegant indulgence. Size: 8.11oz, 20 Pieces
