Inside the decorative 1920s-inspired metal tin are around 36 individually portioned caramels, with six varieties to explore: Camargue fleur de sel, calisson, lemon, coffee, pistachio and vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe calisson caramels include the Provençal confection of almonds and candied fruit, including melon and orange peel, while the vanilla variety uses Madagascar vanilla extract. Made at the Caramélerie de Mane in Haute-Provence, the caramels are produced using machines dating from the 1950s. Give the tin to someone who loves French confectionery, or open it to share with coffee after dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround 36 individually portioned caramels in six flavours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra virgin olive oil replaces butter and cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative metal gift tin with 1920s-inspired styling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Haute-Provence using machines dating from the 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeet the maker: Roy René\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoy René began with nougat, not calissons. In 1920, artisan nougat maker Ernest Guillet founded the Nougaterie du Roy René in Aix-en-Provence to make his own recipes. His son René later revived one of the town’s traditional sweets: the calisson, also known as the ‘câlin provençal’, or Provençal cuddle. In 1948, the family business became Calissons du Roy René, though nougat never left the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a lovely sense of place in the ingredients. Melons for the calissons are harvested in Cavaillon and candied in Apt, a town renowned for its candied fruit, before joining finely ground almonds and candied orange peel. Nougat is still cooked in copper cauldrons using traditional Provençal methods. The company’s craftsmanship has earned it France’s Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label, recognising living heritage and traditional expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoy René is also helping secure the future of an ingredient at the heart of its history. Since 2014, it has worked to revive Provence’s almond industry, supporting an initiative that includes planting thousands of almond trees. Close to the factory, it has established an agroecological almond grove and heritage orchard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProduct formulations and details may change.
