Siciliatentazioni Frutta Martorana is a traditional Sicilian sweet originally made for the Day of the Dead celebration. The product got its name from the Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio church in Palermo, better known as the Martorana church, where this delicacy was prepared and sold by the nuns for centuries.
Frutta Martorana is a delicious, fruit-shaped candy made of marzipan, which has a centuries-old tradition in Sicily. It was first made in the legendary Martorana church and its nearby monastery in the 12th century to celebrate the Day of the Dead. The recipe and the preparation method spread by word of mouth, until the middle of the 20th century it was made by the nuns of the Santa Caterina monastery in Palermo. These sweet, fruit-shaped marzipans are still symbols of Sicilian traditions, perfect for special occasions or as unique gifts.
