When you think of marshmallows, you quickly picture a campfire with roasted sweet marshmallows on a stick. But the marshmallow is much more than that. This seemingly simple delicacy has a rich history and a surprising future - certainly if it's up to us at Marshmallowstore.nl.
Origin in Antiquity
Did you know that marshmallows originally had medicinal uses? In ancient Egypt, the sap of the marshmallow plant was used to soothe sore throats. It was mixed with honey and nuts – a luxury snack for the elite.
It wasn’t until much later, in the 19th century, that people in France started making marshmallows as we know them today: fluffy, sweet and made with gelatin and sugar. From then on, it became a treat for everyone – but especially in standard flavours like vanilla.
The Industrial Revolution of Zoet
With the rise of factories, marshmallows became mass products. Think of the familiar white balls in bags from the supermarket – fine for a campfire, but not exactly refined. Taste and quality faded into the background. And that is exactly where we make the difference.
The Craft Revolution
At Marshmallowstore.nl we believe in the return to craftsmanship, but with a modern twist. Our marshmallows are handmade with care, love and creativity. We experiment with flavors, textures and combinations that you won't find anywhere else.
Think of surprises like:
-
Mon Cherry – with real cherries and a touch of chocolate
-
Raspberry Lemon – fresh, fruity and perfectly balanced
-
Stracciatella – like tasting your favorite ice cream in marshmallow form
And that's just the beginning.
