Calissons - Little red box

The gourmet jewel of the city of Aix en Provence, the calisson, whose history seems to start in the 15th century, is one of the finest confectionery products. One of the 13 desserts of Provencal Christmas, this sweet to be rediscovered can be enjoyed all year round with a coffee or tea.

Blanched and peeled almonds, melons and orange peels candied into a fine paste, royal icing and unleavened bread, delicate and typically Provencal ingredients that have been perfectly mastered by the House of Parli since 1874, whose calissons are characterised by a high percentage of almonds and a high quality of candied fruits.
