Calisson
calissons d'aix, caillison d'aix
Calissons are a traditional french candy consisting of a smooth, pale yellow, homogeneous paste of candied fruit (especially melons and oranges) and ground almonds topped with a thin layer of royal icing. they have a texture similar to that of marzipan, but with a fruitier, distinctly melon-like flavour. they are often almond-shaped and are typically about five centimeters (two inches) in length. calissons are traditionally associated with the town of aix-en-provence, france; consequently, most of the world's supply is still made in the provence region.
