Gifts and Handmade Specialties – Marzipan & Chocolate

Grand Delikatesse is also a gourmet gift shop. We create custom gift boxes with fine foods, olive oils, chocolate, and wine-related products — beautifully wrapped at no extra cost.

Inside our shop you’ll also find Marsipanfabrikken, our small artisan workshop. We handcraft exclusive marzipan from premium Valencia-mandels, shaping and painting each figure by hand before packing them in elegant gift boxes. We also produce our own chocolate — the perfect companion to our marzipan.
