About Calisson

Calisson is a traditional French confection originating from Provence, celebrated for its luxurious almond flavor. It is typically made with ground almonds, candied fruits like melon or orange, sugar, and a hint of orange blossom water, all blended into a smooth paste and topped with a delicate layer of royal icing. Its unique diamond shape and soft texture make it a favorite treat for special occasions. While calissons offer a source of energy from natural almonds and fruits, they are high in sugar and are best enjoyed in moderation. Rich in healthy fats from almonds, they also supply some vitamin E and fiber, but their calorie content can be significant due to the sweetness. As a symbol of French culinary tradition, calissons are an indulgent treat rather than a nutritional staple, offering a taste of Provence’s history and craftsmanship.
