calisson
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. Calissons have a texture not unlike that of marzipan, but with a fruitier, distinctly melon-like flavor. Calissons are often almond-shaped and are typically about two inches in length. Calissons are traditionally associated with the town of Aix-en-Provence, France; consequently, most of the world supply of calissons are still made in the Provence region.
==History==
The calisson is believed to have its origins in medieval Italy. Among the first known references to calissons was in Martino di Canale's ''Chronicle of the Venetians'' in 1275. An earlier 12th century text written in Medieval Latin used the word ''calisone'' to refer to a cake made with almonds and flour. Yet another candy that is thought to be a relative of the modern calisson is ''kalitsounia'', which was made with marzipan, nuts, and spices such as cinnamon and cloves and was found in places occupied by the Venetians, such as Crete.
Some trace the introduction of calissons to Provence around the mid-15th century at the second wedding of King Rene of Anjou.〔 Others suggest that it was not introduced in its modern form until the 16th century, as this was when almonds became an established crop in Aix-en-Provence.
