About mazapán de Toledo
Mazapán de Toledo is the almond confection associated with Toledo in Castilla-La Mancha. This profile follows Spain.info’s compact almond, sugar and egg formula.
Ground almonds provide a deep nutty richness while icing sugar brings clean sweetness. Egg binds the paste and its yolk glaze adds a light toasted savouriness.
The marzipan is smooth, dense and pliable inside, shaped into small figures with a pale ivory crumb. Brief baking leaves the raised surfaces lightly golden and glossy.
