Description

Listed as a living heritage of the city of Aix-en-Provence, the history of the calisson goes back to the time of King René in the 15th century.

Legend has it that the King's confectioner made this delicacy to delight Queen Jeanne on her wedding day.

She named these delicacies "di calin soun" (they are cuddly in Provencal).

Le Roy René calisson d'Aix

The recipe of Calisson d'Aix has remained unchanged since its creation. The confectioners have always made this complex of finely ground sweet almonds, Provençal melon and orange peel, all set on a bed of rice paper, and coated with royal icing.
