Description

Origin and Raw Materials: This exceptional confectionery specialty is crafted in Haute-Provence. The recipe highlights finely ground sweet almonds, sun-ripened candied Provence melon, and candied orange peel, set on a delicate wafer base and topped with pristine royal icing.

Producer: Founded in 1797 in the village of Le Poët, Maffren Confiseur preserves the authentic confectionery heritage of Provence. Backed by centuries of expertise, the house creates premium sweets celebrated for noble ingredients and tradition.

Production Process: Prepared using traditional methods, the almond and candied fruit paste is gently kneaded to achieve its signature soft texture. Shaped into its iconic diamond form, each piece is glazed with royal icing and gently oven-dried for a delicate crunch.

Tasting Notes: This calisson features its classic diamond shape coated in smooth white icing. On the nose, it releases inviting aromas of fresh almonds, ripe melon, and citrus zest. On the palate, the crisp shell gives way to a dense, soft, delicately fruity heart.

Serving Advice & Aging Potential: An essential component of the traditional Provençal 13 Christmas Desserts. Ideal alongside espresso coffee, green tea, champagne, or sweet dessert wines. Store in a cool, dry place.

Awards & Environmental Certifications: Made in Provence under strict French artisanal standards, ensuring natural ingredients and heritage preservation.
