Enjoying it
Three moments to open it
For the thirteen desserts
On the table on 24 December, beside white nougat and dried fruit.
As a gift
With a jar of lavender honey: two flavours of Provence to give together.
The calisson is the signature sweet of Aix-en-Provence: an almond and candied melon paste on a thin wafer, topped with royal icing. These mini calissons d’Aix-en-Provence are made in Aix by a confectioner founded in 1874.
What is a calisson?
A calisson is shaped like a little boat, or an almond. Its paste blends finely ground almonds with candied melon and a little candied orange peel. It sits on a sheet of wafer and is covered with a thin layer of royal icing, the white sugar and egg-white glaze that cracks lightly as you bite.
The taste
A paste rich in almonds (42 %), the fruitiness of candied melon and orange, and a light crunch of icing. A melting calisson, neither too sweet nor too dry.
Why mini calissons?
In bite size, about 16 per jar, calissons are easier to share: one or two with coffee, a few on the table of the thirteen desserts. Each one comes in its own wrapper, so it stays soft and travels without damage.
What to serve them with
- With coffee or tea, at the end of a meal.
- On the table of the thirteen desserts at Christmas, with our mini lavender honey nougats.
- As a gift, with a jar of lavender honey: two flavours of Provence.
