BERLINGOT : The Berlingot originates from Carpentras in the Vaucluse.
It is a hard candy made from candied fruit syrup. It is shaped like a pyramid.
The history and fame of the Berlingot dates back to the time of the papacy in Avignon, when a chef called Sylvestre democratised it. However, it was originally a medicinal product.
