Marzipan / Mazapan figurines of supreme quality are a traditional and artisanal sweet. Traditional Spanish marzipan is made from ground almonds and sugar, mixed together to form a smooth paste.
This paste is then molded into various shapes, including fruits, animals, and figures, each with its own significance. For example, marzipan figures of fruits symbolize fertility and abundance, while animal shapes represent good luck and prosperity.
Marzipan holds a special place in Spanish culinary tradition, especially during the Christmas season. This sweet almond confection has been enjoyed for centuries and is deeply rooted in Spanish culture.
During the Christmas season, marzipan becomes a staple dessert in Spanish households. It is often enjoyed alongside other festive treats like turron (nougat) and polvorones (crumbly cookies). Marzipan is also used to decorate Christmas cakes and pastries, adding a touch of sweetness and elegance to holiday desserts.
