History of Marzipan
They learned to make pasta from ground almonds and sugar in the East more than 1000 years ago. Arabs brought the delicacy to Spain, where the marzipan pasta delicacies quickly became a popular dessert, accessible only to nobles. The high price of marzipan was due to the fact that sugar in those days was worth its weight in gold. When the industrial production of granulated sugar was established, marzipan paste and products made of it became much more affordable. In the 18th century, raw marzipan was used to make bitter tablets more palatable. In the 19th century, marzipan made in Germany won the most fame.
