December 810, Córdoba, Al-Andalus / Sefarad, Spain.

In the golden age of Al-Andalus, confectioners crafted almond marzipan of unparalleled delicacy. The secret lay in the whispered exchange between Moorish and Spanish kitchens, transforming recipes of almond flour, sugar, saffron and orange blossom into an art. Nearby, within the vibrant streets of Córdoba, skilled artisans shaped leather into exquisite wonders. Thus, the velvety scent of marzipan commingled with the oaky Córdoba leather, their crafts a symbolic bridge between cultures and traditions, proving that even in the crucible of diverse rule, the sweetest symphonies could emerge from shared traditions. 

Developed with Calice Becker.
