Description
Calissons are traditional Provençal delicacies that delight the taste buds with their perfect combination of almonds, candied fruit and sugar. These sweets are often considered to be one of the treasures of Provençal cuisine.
Calissons are made with care and expertise, using high-quality ingredients to guarantee an exceptional taste experience. Almonds, which are the main ingredient at over 35%, are finely ground to create a smooth, creamy paste. This paste is then blended with sugar and candied fruit to create a harmonious, delicate flavour.
Before the rise of modern manufacturing, in the 19th century, sugar was rare and used sparingly. After extensive research and many hours devoted to studying traditional Calisson d’Aix recipes, we created our ideal version, which we named the Calisson de Saint-Rémy. The result of this passionate work is a tender, flavorful, and delicately sweetened treat. Every day, these sweet delicacies are handmade in a dedicated workshop, where the dough is prepared with meticulous attention.
The secret to the calisson’s tender texture lies in the careful craftsmanship at each stage. Each piece is precisely cut and gently coated with a thin layer of royal icing, adding the signature glossy sweetness of the calisson.
