Marzipan is one of the most ancient delicacies. In our country, however, the opinion has prevailed for years that marzipan is that strange resemblance to chocolate, with a not so pleasant taste, but at a rather low price. However, this is a huge misconception.
Marzipan is actually a mixture of grated almond powder with powdered sugar to make an elastic paste. Its ingredients combine so well that they do not need an additional adhesive ingredient.
The real marzipan is really a fine almond paste with unique taste qualities. Today, fortunately, the real marzipan is already available in our country.
And this is only because of the rule of the European Union that something can be sold under the name marzipan only if it contains not less than 14% almond oil.
Few people know about the true definition of marzipan. It is a delicacy paste made from sweet and bitter almonds and sugar, and sometimes rose water. It has been known in Europe for centuries, and its roots can be found somewhere deep in the Orient.
As it is a finished product, marzipan can be consumed directly. In addition, due to its elastic sweet texture, it is most widely used in confectionery. It is also preferred because it is easy to prepare and can be modeled with.
In many European countries, individual sweet marzipan figurines are made. They can be all sorts - small animals, fruits, beautiful flowers and all kinds of molds for decorating cakes and pastries.
Another plus is that all kinds of harmless paints can be added to the almond paste, thus making the modeled figures not only beautiful but also more realistic. Marzipan details and candies can be decorated with chocolate, sugar and lemon glaze.
Another application of marzipan is in the preparation of cakes. A crust can be rolled out of it to completely cover the cake. In addition, marzipan goes very well with chocolate.
Therefore, it is a commonly used raw material for filling all kinds of chocolates and chocolates.
