What are we missing from this list? Kaliningrad has long been famous for the production of marzipan sweets, so a sweet gift will be an excellent and at the same time very tasty souvenir brought from this city.
Historical background
Back in 1526, marzipan sweets were considered a remedy and were sold with might and main in pharmacies, but confectionery factories quickly became interested in their production. The main feature of the Kaliningrad branded marzipan recipe is its golden, toasty surface. Already in 1809, the first factory for the production of marzipan was opened by the Pomatti brothers, in what was then Koenigsberg, after which the brothers were awarded the title of "confectioners of the royal court".
