What is marzipan, and where do people use it?


Marzipan is a soft, thick confectionery paste made of pressed almonds used as icing or molded into sweets. It has a clay-like texture which makes it very easy to handle. It is usually used for cakes and other sweet treats because of its pleasant flavor and texture. Furthermore, marzipan for cakes is often combined with fruit fillings or covered with chocolate to give them a richer, darker taste.

Why use this paste in desserts?


Marzipan is made from strong almonds, making it an excellent alternative to sugar or refined white flour. In addition, it is also made without hydrogenated oils, which makes it healthier for you. Lastly, it is very easy to prepare. Hence, it can be made ahead of time and frozen for several weeks until you need it.

This delicious paste is usually sold in tubes, tubs, or cans. The real fans love each and every variant!

What is marzipan? First, learn the history!

Let’s start with a little history. Marzipan originally came from the Middle East; back then, it had rose water or orange blossom flavor. As early as 965, this specialty was one of the caliphs’ table delights. Moreover, it became known in Europe through the Arab invasion of Spain and Portugal. At that time, only kings and princes could eat this specialty. When pharmacists started producing and selling the almond paste, as they had the spice monopoly, confectionery manufacturers soon began manufacturing marzipan. However, it remained a luxury item until the 19th century. Finally, when people started to produce sugar from sugar beet, which was cheaper than cane sugar, that finally made marzipan more widely available.
