Iconic Symbol of Aix-en-Provence for Mom

Guess what! Léonard Parli's calissons now come in brand new luxury recyclable cardboard boxes that your Mom will definitely love. Let us explain to you why it is a perfect gift to express your love and admiration.

Calissons tell the story of a pastry chef that loved the beautiful eyes of Jeanne de Laval, who was forced to marry King René. The pastry chef was so sad to see her always in tears that he confectioned a sweet that looked just like his Queen's beautiful eyes!

Léonard Parli's calissons and their Aixoise notoriety result from a hundred-year-old know-how that gives them an incomparable taste and texture. The traditional manufacturing techniques of Léonard Parli confectionery have forged its reputation. This company distinguishes itself by still using the stone ground mill to prepare the almonds which give them that delicate texture whilst ensuring that their calissons contain a minimum of 42% almonds. Leonard Parli's calissons' sugar content stems from the syrup of candied melon and candied orange peels mixed with grounded almonds!

Interesting fact: Leonard Parli's Prestigious Boxes are actually patented as they are shaped to represent the iconic aesthetic of the calisson. 

Calissons are gluten-free

The prestigious box of 340g and 500g contains 33 and 44 calissons d'Aix-en-Provence respectively.
