Martorana Fruit - Palermo Almond Paste 1 Kg

The best Martorana Fruit or Almond Paste from Palermo

HOMEMADE ARTISANAL PRODUCTION OF EXCELLENCE

Fruit in name but not in fact! In reality the name Frutta Martorana derives from the noblewoman Eloisa Martorana who built the Benedictine monastery adjacent to the Church of Santa Maria dell'ammiraglio or Church of the Martorana in Palermo, where the nuns of the convent prepared them.

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

The traditional recipe calls for a dough made with almond flour and sugar, then shaped to create a true reproduction of fruit and vegetables from our area and finally colored using food coloring! Generally these sweets are consumed on the occasion of the Feast of the Dead (November 2).

Our high-quality selection hit the mark.

Finding the best Martorana fruit in the province of Palermo.

We have selected one of the best artisan laboratories to let you taste the best Martorana fruit in Palermo.

From our personal experience we have tasted Frutta Martorana from various pastry shops, even renowned ones in Palermo. Even though they had a high aesthetic quality, they did not meet our expectations in terms of taste; either too sweet, or too floury, or too aromatic, in practice we have highlighted a tendency to exaggerate in sugar (making them too sweet), in almond essence (making them too aromatic) and in flour (making them dry and floury).

The Martorana fruit that we offer you here has been chosen mainly for its delicious taste, prepared by our master craftsmen respecting the right balance between the ingredients of the traditional recipe that make it deliciously unique.
