{German Marzipan Stollen 500 years of Christmas Tradition}

For years while living in the US we have been enjoying the authentic German Marzipan Stollen, a 500 year old Christmas tradition. We bought our Oebel Marzipan Stollen this year at World Market in Atlanta. My surprise was big for also finding German Marzipan Stollen at our new, local T.J. MAXX store. We did buy them there often while on the road as consultants in Connecticut. But it sure makes us feel more at HOME with local supply now. Do you know this delicious German Tradition too? If not, you ought to buy one now, even 'after Christmas sales' can give you this great experience.
Enjoy this Marzipan Stollen with tea or coffee and I guarantee, you will be hooked!
So plan to add this to your Christmas to do list.
Served on a Rosenthal Sanssouci Roses Ivory plate.

    Hello Mariette

    We are fortunate to be able to buy it here too and it has become a regular Christmas favourite. It looks extra luxurious on your beautiful Rosenthal porcelain.

    Thank you so much for your visit. Your comments mean a lot to me.

    Merry Christmas
    Anna

    Ooh ik wist niet dat die traditie al 500 jaar bestaat!!!
    geweldig toch..ik ben er ook een groot liefhebber van, maar de rest hier in huis niet..
    Soms koop ik wel eens zo'n 'mini stolletje' , dat is een 1-persons uitvoering, kennen ze dat daar ook al?
    Mariettte, als ik je niet meer 'spreek'..ik wens je fijne, lichte en warme kerstagen...

    Wow that looks really yummy! what a fabulous Christmas treat. I am a huge fan of Marzipan... in Portugal marzipan is used at Christmas and Easter celebrations, it is shaped into fruits, vegetables, animals and decorated accordingly ... if purchased from a good bakery (or you are fortunate to know someone who makes it home made) it is a feast for the senses! Happy Wednesday my dear friend, xo HHL

    Hoi Mariette,

    Leuk dat jij de Duitste, maar ook een beetje Nederlandse traditie in ere houdt! Zonder kerststol géén kerstontbijt :-)!

    Een gezellige dag,

    Madelief x

    Mmm, kerststol! Ik heb ze zelfgebakken, want ze zijn hier niet te krijgen. Ik heb er zelf eentje maar mijn ouders gestuurd. Want die missen mijn zelfgemaakte kerststol. Overigens bestaan er ook veel verschillende recepten van.

    Ik wens jullie fijne kerstdagen!

    I just love marzipan stollen! Every year, at Christmas time, I used to receive one in a box directly from Germany, as it was sent by a dear colleague. ( I also used to receive a carton with 100 tulip bulbs from Amsterdam (for over 15 years!).
    Now that I retired, I miss those nice gifts !!!! ha ha ha!!! Although, we can now find stollen in Greek super-markets also! Enjoy yours, dear Mariette!!!!
