Carstens Lübecker Finest Marzipan Cherry

Carstens Lübecker Marzipan is a premium brand of marzipan products originating from the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, Germany. The company, Erasmi & Carstens, was founded in 1845 and has built a long-standing reputation for quality under the 'Lübecker Marzipan' protected geographical indication, which ensures the product is produced in the designated region with specific almond content standards.

The product shown is from their 'Finest Marzipan' line, specifically featuring cherry filling. While originally an independent company, Erasmi & Carstens was acquired by the Zertus Group in 1991. Today, Zertus GmbH, a family-owned international food manufacturer based in Hamburg, oversees the brand's production and distribution, maintaining the traditional manufacturing processes in Lübeck.
