Description

What is a calisson? A calisson is a traditional French candy made from ground almonds, candied fruit (like melon and orange peel), and sugar, formed into an oval shape, set on a wafer, and topped with a thin layer of icing. Soft and chewy with a delicate, fruity-almond flavor, it's a specialty of Aix-en-Provence. Discover a timeless treat with this Traditional Box of Calissons from Leonard Parli, a renowned confectioner since 1874. These classic almond-shaped sweets are handcrafted using a blend of finely ground almonds, candied melon, and orange peel, then topped with a delicate layer of royal icing and set on a thin wafer. Soft, smooth, and subtly sweet, each piece offers a unique texture and flavor that captures the essence of old-world candy making. Beautifully packaged in a clear gift box, it’s a perfect gift or elegant indulgence. Size: 4.59oz, 12 Pieces

The French FarmEstablished 1997

The French Farm was founded in 1997 by Gisele Oriot, who is originally from the French region known for its food culture and wine. After settling down in Houston, she realized something was missing. She longed for the high quality gourmet food products and kitchen accessories that she was surrounded by back home. She realized that if she wanted the jams, mustards, oils, and cutlery that she missed, she was going to have to bring them to Houston herself. So, what started as a hobby, bringing in gourmet products for herself and her friends, turned into a business and The French Farm was born. The French Farm has searched all over Europe to bring you and your family the finest imported gourmet foods and kitchen accessories. Our products are carefully crafted by small, family-owned businesses and are made using traditional recipes and techniques, which are handed down from one generation to the next. These products contain the highest quality ingredients and materials, have exquisite taste, and are packaged beautifully.
