Brenten from Frankfurt

The Brenten are a specialty from Frankfurt am Main and have been made in this Hessian town from marzipan, sometimes with flour, rose water and lemon peel, since the Middle Ages. For this purpose, the marzipan mass is pressed into wooden moulds made from fruit trees, dried and then baked. Traditionally, these precious pastries are baked and consumed during Advent and Christmas time. A real treat that you can now bring to your home.
