Lübecker Marzipan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Lübecker Marzipan refers to Marzipan originating from the city of Lübeck in northern Germany and has been protected by an EU Council Directive as a “Protected Geographical Indication” (PGI) since 1996. The Marzipan manufacturers of Lübeck like Niederegger, Carstens, Lubeca or Marzipan-Land follow some principles of quality by voluntary commitments (not required by the directive), for instance to use not less than 70% of raw Marzipan paste and at most 30% of sugar.
