Calissons by Gilles

Diaboliquements Delicieux !!!
The best calissons we have ever tasted; no need to travel abroad, just try!

The Mediterranean Flavors: Box of 12 is the best way to sample. They are aligned beautifully in the box like expertly laid tiles. They include the Almond Classic, Rose Petal, Orange Blossom, and Lavender. Start with the Almond Classic to taste the original classic flavor of a calisson. The aroma is almond in nature. The texture is a cross between a dense cake and marzipan. The flavor is sweet almond along with hints of cantaloupe and orange. The royal icing adds a crunch texture as you bite into it. The blueish purple calisson is Lavender. The lavender aroma is apparent with subtle lavender flavor. The orange calisson is Orange Blossom. The orange aroma is apparent with stronger orange flavor as you bite into it. The pink calisson is Rose Petal. The rose aroma is subtle with stronger rose petal flavor.

I was lucky enough to try this great product, amazing texture and taste. What a treat!
I found out it is a «confection» from France and By Gilles is the only one producing the authentic product in the US. Love the texture, taste and the fact it is not too big so you can still watch your calories and have a fantastic treat. I used this for a recent party and they were the most talked about item I had. Love it.
