This confectionery treat in the shape of a white pig made with finely ground almonds and natural sugar has been popular around the world for over a thousand years.

In Germany, the pig is a symbol of luck, so this little marzipan pig is the perfect good-luck charm to bring in the new year. A conversation piece for every dessert table, or a fabulous, unforgettable gift item!

From Bergen Marzipan, based in Bergenfield, NJ, a prominent US-based marzipan maker.
