Martorana Fruit: Sicilian Almond Paste Sweets

Martorana Fruit: Sicilian Confectionery Excellence

Origins and Tradition

In fact, these are typical sweets from Palermo made with another must-have ingredient in our tradition: almond paste (or marzipan)!

Frutta Martorana, also known as almond paste, is a typical sweet from Palermo with a fascinating history. The name comes from Eloisa Martorana, a noblewoman who founded the monastery adjacent to the Martorana Church in Palermo, where the nuns prepared these sweets.

Despite the name, these are not real fruit, but delicious sweets shaped like fruit and vegetables, made with almond paste (or marzipan), sugar and food colouring. Traditionally, they are eaten during the   Day of the Dead (November 2) .
