Does Niederegger marzipan always contain alcohol?
Yes. The alcohol content of our raw marzipan mixture is less than 1% on manufacture and decreases further during storage. This percentage conforms with the permissible levels for products such as apple juice, kefir, sauerkraut or alcohol-free beer. Many everyday products contain alcohol; 1 kg of bananas, for example, contains 6 g of alcohol. Alcohol is also produced by yeast in the bread manufacturing process when slackening the dough; normal mixed-grain bread contains between 2–4 g of alcohol per kg.

Is it possible to view the production facility?

What is meant by 100% raw marzipan quality?
