Hey, gourmands! Have you ever wondered what makes our marzipan so irresistible? We'll tell you all about it, from our ingredients to our little tricks of the trade. We promise, by the end, you'll know everything there is to know about the art of Belgian marzipan!
At Silly Belgium, our marzipan is much more than just a confection - it's the fruit of a long traditional craftsmanship since 1988.
What makes our marzipan so special
Carefully selected ingredients.
We only work with the best almonds from the USA and Spain. These almonds, from the latest harvest, offer a perfect balance between subtle bitterness and fullness of flavor. They are combined with the highest quality granulated sugar to create our marzipan.
1. It all starts in the morning: our almonds take their daily shower. Freshness guaranteed!
2. Then it's time for the big mix: almonds and sugar meet in our colette. It's like a first date where flavors start to flirt!
3. The highlight of the show: our Bauermeister and its marble cylinders. A real jewel that transforms our mixture into a paste so smooth you could eat it with a spoon!
4. For the finishing touch, our mixing arms enter the dance. They add those little extras that make all the difference. It's the secret that gives our Silly marzipan its irresistible texture!
Our Winter Speciality: Baked Marzipan
For the winter season, we're offering our baked marzipan, a truly festive delicacy. This seasonal product is prepared with the same care as our classic marzipan, but benefits from an extra baking step that gives it a unique texture and more intense flavors.
Baked marzipan is perfect for the festive season, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort to long winter evenings. Its slightly caramelized texture and stronger taste make it a must for Christmas and New Year's tables.
Whether it's our traditional marzipan or our winter specialty of baked marzipan, every Silly Belgium bite is a veritable explosion of flavor, the result of a meticulous artisanal process and top-quality ingredients.
