When Cali married Coco in 2012, this sweetness was born which also became the brand of Grégory Grimoult's company. Almond powder and the Calisson melon have become in the latitudes of the southern hemisphere grated coconut and candied green papaya for Calicoco.
Crafted with the help of a confectioner's assistant in a laboratory with high-performance equipment, the Calicocos, whose recipe is secret, continue to seduce gourmets from Reunion Island.
Relying on the great success of its Reunion confectionery, the creator of Calicoco has increased its range of sweets made from high quality raw materials that enhance local production.
Chic and neat, sober and delicate, Calicoco packaging is an integral part of the brand's hallmark. Made from high quality materials, these elements rightly highlight the product they surround. At Calicoco, neither the content nor the container is neglected.
