What is Marzipan?

What is it?

Marzipan is a raw mass of flavored almond paste.

Whole almonds are peeled and reduced to a fine flour.

This is then enhanced with sugar and flavorings such as rosewater, orange water, and bitter almond extract and turned into a tight mass that can be easily shaped.

Eggs are used in the traditional Marzipan making method but Marzipan can be made Vegan too.

The raw marzipan mass is further used to prepare candy, cookies, and cakes.
