Did you know Carstens is one of the traditional producers of authentic Lübeck Marzipan? 🇩🇪
Made in the historic city of Lübeck, Germany (famous worldwide for its premium marzipan) Carstens has been making marzipan specialties since 1845 using time-honoured recipes and high-quality almond paste.
What makes Lübeck Marzipan so special?
✔️ It’s a protected geographical specialty in Europe
✔️ It contains a higher almond content than standard marzipan
✔️ The result is a richer, smoother and more intense almond flavour
Fun trivia 🍬
Lübeck became known as the “Marzipan Capital” thanks to its position as a major Hanseatic trading port, where almonds and sugar were imported centuries ago. Some legends even say marzipan was created there during a famine when almonds and sugar were the only ingredients left!
Enjoyed on its own, paired with chocolate, or gifted to a fellow marzipan lover, Carstens Lübeck Marzipan is a true taste of German confectionery tradition.
