Marzipan Fruits
$9.60$16.00
Pennisi passionately crafts Sicilian almond paste into exquisite, hand-painted fruits, an art form that has been practiced for over a thousand years!
Legend has it that the nuns of the Martorana Monastery (founded in Palermo by the noblewoman Eloisa Martorana in 1194), waiting for the visit of the archbishop in autumn, realized that their garden, famous for being splendid and flourishing, was bare and fruitless. The autumn fruits were still unripe, so the nuns decided to make with the royal pasta very colorful and tasty marzipan fruits to decorate the bare trees. These sweets became famous and were increasingly requested by the noble families of Palermo.
A pleasure for the eye and the palate!
Dolceria Siciliana Pennisi believes that Confectionery tradition and family history are inextricably intertwined, and they are promoters of typical and traditional Sicilian products around the world.
