Calissons d'Aix en Provence

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. A must among the 13 desserts of Provençal Christmas, this sweet to be rediscovered can be enjoyed all year round with a coffee or tea.

Blanched almonds, melons and orange peels candied in fine paste, royal icing and unleavened bread, delicate and typically Provencal ingredients that are perfectly mastered by Maison Parli since 1874, whose calissons are characterized by a high rate of almonds and a great quality of candied fruits.
