What is the difference between Almond Paste or Marzipan packaged in a can versus in a tube or other plastic packaging?
Steel cans provide a dark and totally sealed container in which to package food. We use steel cans to insure freshness. When exposed to air and light, almond paste and marzipan will discolor, dry out and loose flavor. Plastic film packaging can expose almond paste and marzipan to light and air. This is not of concern when such products are packaged in cans.
