Diane de Poytiers 20 Calissons 260g

Often associated with Aix-en-Provence, calissons are enjoyed year-round and feature prominently during festive moments. This gift box contains 20 calissons, neatly arranged and ready to share. 

Each calisson is made from finely ground almonds, candied melon and orange peel, and sugar, blended into a smooth paste. The flavour is gently sweet, with soft marzipan notes balanced by light fruit freshness. The texture stays tender and slightly firm, while a thin layer of royal icing adds a clean sweetness and a smooth finish. 

The paste is rolled, cut into its oval shape, iced, then slowly dried at low temperature. This careful process allows flavours to settle without drying out the centre. The result is consistent, balanced, and easy to enjoy. 

Presented in an elegant, illustrated metal tin, these calissons make a lovely gift and are just as enjoyable to savour slowly with a coffee or a cup of tea. Why you’ll enjoy them
