Marzipan is a classic European sweet made from 2 ingredients - pure sugar and the finest almonds. Some say marzipan originated in Italy several centuries ago during a major drought, when the only substantial crop to survive was the almond crop. People found all kinds of ways to prepare almonds; marzipan was created. Germans adopted this recipe and created the finest marzipan in Lubeck using the best Mediterranean almonds, sugar, and the precise roasting temperature. Our Belgian marzipan is made according to the original Lubecker method to create a sweet, pliable mixture shaped in the traditional shapes of apples and oranges. A perfect holiday treat. |

Marzipan originates from the Orient, where this almond-sugar delicacy was served at the sultan's table to crown the meal. This sweet speciality reached Spain and Portugal, and was introduced to Europe via the trading centre of Venice during the crusades. At the beginning of its history, marzipan was produced by pharmacists, and was reputed as being a medical cure, well into the 18th century.
In the 14th century, marzipan became a dessert on the noblest dinner tables, and served as a luxury gift for the Empire's highest dignitaries. Following the discovery of the New World and the worldwide cultivation of sugar cane, Europe benefited from easier access to sugar than ever before. As a result, confectioners took over the production of marzipan.
