Niederegger marzipan classic milk bar comes in a 3.5 ounce pack. In the 14th century, marzipan became a dessert on the noblest dinner tables and it served as a luxury gift for the empire’s highest dignitaries. Following the discovery of the new world and the worldwide cultivation of sugar cane, Europe benefited from easier access to sugar than ever before. As a result, confectioners took over the production of marzipan and magically transformed the once plain marzipan loaves into works of art by creating hand modeled figurines. More industrialized methods of processing brought marzipan production into full bloom. However, it was only companies like Niederegger who consistently supplied high quality products that were able to survive in the market over the long run.
