The History of Marzipan

Marzipan is a very special sweet, for ages called the “Harem’s Sweet”, because it was so precious in ancient times that the Sultans gave it only to their beloved wives. Marzipan was made of pure gold back then.

Today it’s very rare and precious, but fortunately you don’t have to be a Sultan to afford it. To make the original marzipan you need a special variety of almonds you only can find in parts of Italy, Spain and Portugal.

These almonds are roasted and ground according to a long traded procedure and mixed with sugar and special ingredients.

Today there’s only one manufacturer in the world who has been making marzipan this way for more than one hundred years: Lubeca in Luebeck, Germany.

We are very proud that we are one of the two places in the America that processes this exquisite material into the world famous marzipan figures.

Come, see and enjoy our marzipan fruits, dinosaurs, puppies, cats and of course our unique razorbacks!
