I don't even like marzipan. Mostly because so much of it is not chocolate. But a co-worker brought this Niederegger torte back to the office from Germany, so the least I could do was eat it.
Oh my lord. It was great. It wasn't like American marzipan. It was just better. Inexplicably, magically better.
BOTTOM LINE: Go to Germany. Eat some chocolate-covered marzipan. Rethink all your previously held dessert opinions.
Hi, so glad you enjoyed the Niederegger Marzipan Torte.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Luebeck, Germany (where Niederegger Marzipan is produced)is a beautiful place to visit, Niederegger Marzipan is available right here in New York City and other fine food stores across the nation.

They also have them in bodegas and Economy Candy (of course), though I've never seen the full tort!
