Andrés Gaviño Traditional Tortas de Aceite – Spanish Olive Oil Wafers 180g

Andrés Gaviño has made tortas de aceite in Antequera, Andalusia, since 1947. These thin, crisp wafers are baked with olive oil and a whisper of anise — no butter, no shortening — producing a delicate cookie that shatters between your teeth and leaves behind the subtle warmth of Mediterranean oil.

About this product

Each torta is hand-folded during baking, creating its characteristic irregular ridges. The dough is deceptively simple: wheat flour, olive oil, sugar, salt, and anise seed. The result tastes nothing like industrial wafers; instead, it captures the essence of a small Andalusian bakery where technique and time matter more than efficiency. The 180-gram package holds enough for an afternoon with coffee or as an elegant addition to a cheese board.

How to enjoy

• Pair with strong coffee or Spanish brandy after dinner.
• Crumble alongside aged manchego and quince paste for a traditional Spanish dessert.
• Serve at room temperature; they soften slightly if stored warm.
• Accompany sherry or amontillado as a light tapa.

⭐ Why we love this

Andrés Gaviño's tortas de aceite represent an Andalusian tradition that refuses shortcuts—hand-folded since 1947, each wafer captures the delicate balance between olive oil's fruity warmth and anise's subtle licorice whisper. This is not a cookie; it's a crisp edible expression of Mediterranean terroir.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve with a glass of dry amontillado or manzanilla sherry for an authentic Spanish tapa experience, or alongside strong espresso after dinner. They also complement aged manchego and membrillo beautifully for a traditional Spanish cheese course finale.
