Uniquely square traditional calissons from Provence.
These small, square-shaped sweets, characteristic of Calissons de Saint Rémy du Petit Duc, are a perfect blend of almonds, candied fruit, and sugar , creating an explosion of flavor in every bite. Calissons are made according to a traditional recipe dating back to the 17th century. The history of Calissons de Saint Rémy is also ancient, since before the era of factory production in the late 19th century, sugar remained a rare commodity, used sparingly. They followed the same principle during the hours we spent studying recipes predating the Aix calisson, finally arriving at our own Calisson de Saint-Rémy... small, lightly sweetened treats , incredibly soft and with a delicious almond flavor .
Each calisson is carefully prepared using premium ingredients. The almonds are finely ground to create a smooth, creamy paste, which is then blended with sugar and candied fruit. The delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture of the calissons, combined with their sweet and fragrant flavor, makes them a truly delightful experience. Every bite transports you to the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence, where these sweet treats have been cherished for generations.
Whether for a sweet treat, a special gift, or to enjoy with coffee or tea, Saint-Rémy calissons are a perfect choice. Their elegant presentation also makes them an ideal gift for special occasions. Savor the authentic and delicate flavor of Saint-Rémy calissons!
