What is a Calisson de Provence?

A Calisson is a traditional candy from Aix-en-Provence, France, with Protected Designation of Origin status. It is made from a paste of ground almonds and candied melon covered with a royal icing glaze, pressed into a distinctive diamond shape. Calissons have been made in Provence since at least the 15th century.

Are your European candies made with artificial flavors or colors?

No. All products in our traditional candy collection are made without artificial colors, artificial flavors, or the preservative systems that define commercial candy manufacturing. French pates de fruits use real fruit puree; Italian Torrone uses real honey and whole toasted almonds.
