Description
These diamond-shaped sweet treats from Aix en Provence have been a favorite for centuries. Manufactured according to time-honored tradition by Chabert & Guillot, these calissons contain nothing but the highest-quality almonds and crystallized melon and orange peel ground together, spread atop a rice-paper base, and covered with a white royal icing. The diamond-shaped boxes make a perfect gift.
Whether calissons were indeed invented by a lovestruck cook on the occasion of the wedding of Jeanne de Laval to King René of Anjou in 1473 is a matter of endless speculation!
