Where is marzipan made from?

Question

i ment to say what country is it made from?

Answer 1

Marzipan was made in Toledo Spain during the 800 or 900's from the Persians. It is also beleived to be made from the Arabic people.

Answer 2

Marzipan is from Spain.

Answer 3

I think it's made in most countries at the present time - it's a common ingredient.  It probably came originally from the Middle East (most likely Persia).

For what it's worth, I've made it myself.  It's time-consuming but not complicated.

Answer 4

as far as I know it is almond & sugar paste.

Although it is believed to have originated in Persia (present-day Iran) and to have been introduced to Europe through the Turks, there is some dispute between Hungary and Italy over its origin. Marzipan became a specialty of the Baltic Sea region of Germany. In particular, the city of Lübeck has a proud tradition of marzipan manufacture (Lübecker Marzipan). The city's manufacturers like Niederegger still guarantee their Marzipan to contain two thirds almonds by weight, which results in a juicy, bright yellow product.

Answer 5

I think it is from Spain known as Mazapan as it is usually used in wedding cakes.
