Mazapán de Toledo

Mazapán de Toledo is a type of marzipan produced in the province of Toledo. It is made by grinding and kneading peeled almonds with sugar until they form a paste. The almonds must constitute at least 50% of the final product to be sold as 'Mazapán de Toledo'.

The tradition of making the marzipan has been brought to the central and southern Spain by the Arabs during the medieval ages. Today, the Marzipan from Toledo is still made in the traditional way following the rules of the small-scale production from the 16th century,  thus ensuring superior quality and taste.

Mazapán de Toledo is extremely fragrant and flavorful, with pronounced deep and complex nuances of the almonds accentuated by the sweetness of sugar or honey.
