Marzipan sweets workshop
The most famous of regional confectionery made with almonds are the marzipan shapes known locally as doce fino. This millennial art is one of the most vibrant and active popular cultures in Portugal. The variations of doce fino produced by confectioners’ hands are limited only by their imaginations.
In this gastronomic and artistic activity, participants will be able to get their hands busy and model figures in a similar way to clay; learn the basics of the gastronomic technique with the guidance of a local confectioner, and learn some of the different techniques used in painting the sweets. The activity ends with tea and a tasting of the cakes made.
