Pasta di mandorle

Almond paste is made from ground almonds or almond meal and sugar in equal quantities, with small amounts of cooking oil, eggs, heavy cream or corn syrup added as a binder. It is similar to marzipan, with a coarser texture. Almond paste is used as a filling in pastries, but it can also be found in chocolates. In a type of commercially manufactured almond paste called persipan, ground apricot or peach pits are added to save money.

L’histoire, des origines à aujourd’hui (it)

Le origini di questo dolce sono molto lontane: pare, infatti, sia nato alla fine del 1100 nel convento palermitano della Martorana, annesso alla chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio, che deve il suo nome a Giorgio d'Antiochia, ammiraglio del re del Regno di Sicilia Ruggero II. Il nome "reale" attribuito alla pasta dolciaria si può ricondurre al fatto che essa fosse "degna di un re" per la bontà e le caratteristiche del dolce.
