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.
Enjoy a delicately fragrant confection with this Flower‑Flavored Calisson Strip from Leonard Parli. This 100 g pack includes 15 mini almond-based candies infused with natural floral essences—rose, violet, and lavender—mixed with candied melon and orange peel. Each diamond-shaped piece rests on a wafer base and is polished to a smooth texture, offering a gentle sweetness with aromatic floral highlights. Elegantly arranged in a slim presentation strip, these refined treats make a special gift, thoughtful indulgence, or elegant accompaniment to afternoon tea.
