Discover Silly marzipan
Marzipan, also known as almond paste, is made mainly from almonds and sugar.
Flavor: Marzipan offers a unique, complex flavor, resulting from the combination of roasted almonds, sugar and rosewater (or other flavorings). The sweetness of the sugar is counterbalanced by the subtle bitterness of the almonds, creating a harmonious balance in the mouth.
Texture: Marzipan has a soft, chewy texture, making it pleasant to chew and savor. Its malleable consistency also allows it to be shaped into different forms, adding an attractive visual aspect.
Nutritional value: Marzipan is an interesting source of energy, rich in calories, carbohydrates and lipids. It also contains protein and fiber, as well as vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and potassium.
