Provence Calissous - Maffren Canteperdrix
Calissous, are a smaller version of the famous Calissons, a quintessential Provence treat. Those luxurious candies combine almond paste, melon and sugar, topped with a crunchy layer of royal icing. The texture is similar to marzipan but with a fruitier taste, usually melon-like (although maybe not for purists, there are also citrus variations). A Calisson is almond shaped, and usually associated with Aix-en-Provence.
This candy likely originated in Italy and was introduced in France around the 15th or 16th century along with the introduction of almonds as a crop.
