Details: Calissons are not a typical sweet. There is a unique story to go along with the calissons that crossed the history of southern of France. In the middle of the fifteen century the King Rene's court, also known the Count of Provence. In 1454 during the King's wedding with Jeanne De Laval, there was a problem: the Bride-to-be never smiled. The confectioner created a new sweet, he decided to combine some of Provence's most spectacular delights to craft it. When the Queen tried these delights, she was amazed by its incredible taste, and smiled! When she asked what it was, the pastry chef responded "Di Calin Soun" which in provencal language means "Little hugs". In that moment, the history of the calisson began, and they are shaped to always remember Queen's smile.Diamond Shape box filled with 20 Calissons
