These small calissons are ideal for sharing during a coffee break or after a meal.
The Calissons d’Aix recipe—a complex mixture of finely ground sweet almonds, candied Provençal melon and orange peel, laid on a thin layer of wafer and topped with royal icing—has remained unchanged since its creation in the fifteenth century.
The history of the calisson dates back to the time of King Roy René in the 15th century. Legend has it that the King’s confectioner made it to impress the queen on her wedding day.
