Following on from the Calisson Cream ‘Tradition’, here is its more assertive counterpart. Calisson Cream “Ginger” is made using the same principle that defines the range — the heart of the calisson is made smooth and spreadable — and is enriched with the warmth and gentle heat of candied ginger. The result is an indulgent, aromatic cream in which the softness of almond meets the spiced, subtly fiery notes of ginger.

Its composition faithfully reflects that of our Mini Calisson with Candied Ginger. Almonds from Provence, candied ginger and candied melon are finely ground and blended with a syrup made from candied ginger, which provides suppleness and aromatic intensity. First, the rounded flavour of almond appears on the palate, followed by the fruity sweetness of candied melon. Then, the ginger asserts itself with its characteristic warmth and lingering spiced finish. The result is a distinctive cream that appeals to those who appreciate bold flavours.

As with all our calissons, the almonds come from our orchard near the confectionery in Provence, and the ginger is candied by hand in our Saint-Rémy-de-Provence workshops according to a technique passed down through five generations of confectioners. This cream is the natural extension of our ginger range, created for those who enjoy indulgence with character.

Whether spread on toasted bread, crêpes or pancakes, or enjoyed straight from the spoon, this cream can be savoured at any time. It also pairs beautifully with fresh goat’s cheese, adds flavour to chocolate desserts and can be stirred into yoghurt for a breakfast with Provençal and gently spiced notes.
