Provence Calissons - Diamond box- Maffren Canteperdrix

Calissons, a quintessential Provence treat, are a luxurious candy combining 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.
