Maison Bremond Fils Mini Calissons 30pc

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Each calisson is a small masterpiece of texture and flavor: tender, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. The first impression is that of sweet almond and subtle citrus, soft yet defined, giving way to the gentle chew of finely ground candied fruit. The glaze on top adds a refined crispness that melts gracefully on the tongue. What makes these calissons exceptional is their natural harmony—never overly sugary, but layered with the nuanced warmth of almonds and the bright whisper of orange peel. Maison Brémond preserves the authenticity of this centuries-old recipe, crafting each piece with the precision of a pâtissier and the heart of Provence. The experience is one of quiet luxury—nostalgic yet timeless, sweet yet poised.

Pairings and Suggestions

Tea & Afternoon Pairing: Perfect alongside Earl Grey, jasmine, or delicate green teas.

Wine Pairing: A subtle companion to sweet or demi-sec sparkling wines.

Gourmet Gifting: Elegant for coffee service, dessert tables, or after-dinner petits fours.

Creative Touch: Use to decorate celebration cakes or as refined favors for special gatherings. For an elevated tasting moment, enjoy a few calissons with a glass of chilled muscat or late-harvest white—their floral sweetness complements the confections’ almond-citrus perfume.

The Legacy of the Calisson

Legend traces the calisson to 15th-century Aix-en-Provence, where it was first served at the wedding of King René of Anjou and Jeanne de Laval. Since then, it has remained the emblematic sweet of Provence—an expression of joy and refinement. Maison Brémond continues this lineage with devotion, blending candied melon and orange from southern orchards with the finest almonds of the Mediterranean. The result is a confection that carries the soul of Provence in every bite: radiant, delicate, and eternally elegant. To taste a calisson is to taste history—sweetened by time, shaped by craftsmanship, and sealed with affection.
