The sweet selection: marzipan, sugar paste and energy bars
Ranson Marzipan
Discover the heart of tradition and craftsmanship
Step into 75 years of unmatched expertise and a proud tradition of excellence, crafted with passion and precision since 1948. Our story began in Lucien Ranson’s garage, where our signature marzipan recipe was born—a recipe that has stood the test of time. Today, with decades of mastery behind us, we produce over 3,000 tons annually while remaining deeply rooted in the artisanal methods that sets us apart.
Every piece tells a story of dedication, with some of our delightful figurines still lovingly handcrafted to perfection. As a family business , we have always stood for quality, transparency, and trust.
By sourcing our own ingredients, we maintain a commitment to transparency and authenticity, so you can always trust the origins of what you enjoy.
Each product carries the legacy of our craftsmanship and embodies a promise of expertise that defines who we are.
“ By sourcing our ingredients directly from trusted suppliers and producing everything locally in Belgium, we uphold a standard of transparency, quality, and sustainability that’s central to our 75-year legacy. ”
The art and craft of marzipan production
At the heart of our marzipan lies a commitment to excellence that starts with sourcing the finest ingredients and ends with producing the highest quality of marzipan.
We source our almonds from selected regions such as California, Spain, and Portugal, ensuring the highest standards of quality and sustainability. By working closely with our trusted suppliers, we make sure every almond meets our strict standards.
Our production is proudly based in Belgium , where we oversee every step of the process—from sourcing to producing—ensuring unparalleled quality and authenticity.
The secret to our marzipan
To create our marzipan, the almonds are blanched and peeled to eliminate impurities, then moistened to replicate their fresh, justblanched texture—an essential step for maintaining both quality and freshness. This meticulous care prevents contamination and guarantees the finest results.
The prepared almonds are then blended with sugar and other ingredients in high-speed cutters. This process generates heat (up to 90°C), allowing for smooth grinding, binding, and achieving the silky consistency marzipan is known for. After cooling, the marzipan is shaped and crafted into various sizes and forms, including our iconic figurines—all tailored to your preferences.
