Celebrate the spirit of Spanish Christmas with La Estepeña’s Assorted Spanish Pastries — a delicious journey through Spain’s most iconic holiday sweets. This beautifully presented assortment includes traditional mantecados, polvorones, and roscas, each with its own flavor, texture, and story.
Founded in 1858 in Estepa, Andalucía — the heartland of Spain’s Christmas pastry tradition — La Estepeña has been crafting artisanal sweets for more than 160 years. What began as a small family bakery became one of Spain’s most beloved confectioneries, known for its dedication, quality, and mastery in traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation.
A Taste of Spanish Christmas Traditions
Each type of pastry in this assortment represents a different facet of Spain’s festive heritage:
-
Mantecados — crumbly, rich shortbreads made with lard, flour, and sugar, delicately flavored with cinnamon and lemon zest. Their name comes from manteca, meaning lard, which gives them their characteristic melt-in-your-mouth texture.
-
Polvorones — a softer, dustier cousin of the mantecado, rolled in powdered sugar. The name derives from polvo (dust), referring to their delicate, powdery texture that crumbles at the first bite. Often enriched with ground almonds, they deliver a nutty aroma and buttery flavor.
-
Roscas — traditional ring-shaped pastries with a firm bite and subtle sweetness. Slightly denser than mantecados, they are often sprinkled with sesame seeds and baked to a golden finish, offering a delightful crunch and a hint of anise.
Together, they create the perfect medley of textures and flavors — from soft and crumbly to crisp and nutty — embodying the comforting sweetness of Spanish Christmas.
Made with natural ingredients like wheat flour, almonds, cinnamon, and sesame, these pastries evoke nostalgia, warmth, and celebration. Perfect for sharing with family and friends, gifting, or pairing with coffee or dessert wine after a festive meal.
