Beneath a delicate icing hide candied melon, orange, and almonds. Arnaud Soubeyran, one of the most respected confectioners in Provence, expertly glazes these Traditional Calissons and slow-cooks them in copper cauldrons, true to one of the region’s emblematic confections. The texture is perfectly smooth and melts in the mouth. Presented in a gift box of twelve, they are a timeless expression of Provençal savoir-faire. Set them among the thirteen desserts of a Provençal Christmas, or serve them with a glass of sweet Muscat.

The Maker

Almonds, honey, and time: the recipe is old, and it has never needed to hurry. Founded in 1837 in Montélimar, the birthplace of Nougat de Montélimar, Arnaud Soubeyran is a historic French confectionery house, recognized as one of the oldest nougat makers in France. For nearly two centuries, the house has kept its nougat-making expertise alive through traditional recipes and quality ingredients, honey and almonds first among them. Its nougats are still made by traditional methods, including slow cooking in copper kettles. The range spans soft nougat, hard nougat, gourmet sweets, and confections rooted in French culinary heritage.
