The recipe for calisson, Provence's almond-shaped signature confectionery, dates back to the 15th century. This delicious specialty is made of candied fruit (mainly melon and orange) and ground almonds topped with a thin layer of white icing. Its taste is not unlike marzipan, with a fruitier flavor.
Originally from Switzerland, the Parli family emigrated to southern France more than 150 years ago and founded its confectionery business in Aix-en-Provence in 1874. Léonard Parli's calissons and confectionery are renowned for their exceptional taste and quality.
