The origin of the calisson dates back to 1454, in the city of Aix-en-Provence.

During a meal celebrating the wedding of King René with Jeanne de Laval, the court cook is said to have invented this delicious confectionery, a paste made of candied melon and almonds, all topped with royal icing.

Maison Boissier are renowned for their exquisite French confectionery and their covetable and collectible packaging. Founded in Paris in 1827, their sweet treats marry traditional technique and craft with delightful presentation.
