The Birth of Venus (1863) Alexandre Cabanel. "La déesse noyée dans un fleuve de lait, a l'air d'une délicieuse lorette, non pas en chair et en os - ce serait indécent - mais en une sorte de pâte d'amande blanche et rose --Émile Zola, Nos peintres au Champ-de-Mars

Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar and almond meal. Some marzipan is flavored with rosewater. Persipan is a similar, yet less expensive product, in which the almonds are replaced by apricot or peach kernels. In Goa (formerly Portuguese India) almonds are replaced by cashews. Many confectionery products sold as marzipan are made from less expensive materials, such as soy paste and almond essence.
