Cien Palacios Artisan Almond Tejas, Spanish Cookie, Pack of 2 (2 × 250g)

Cien Palacios has crafted these almond tejas in the tradition of Spanish convento sweets for generations. Each thin, crisp wafer is studded with toasted almonds and bound with caramel — the result is a cookie that shatters between your teeth and leaves behind the gentle sweetness of roasted nuts. A teja (literally a roof tile) is one of Spain's most humble and most addictive cookies, beloved across Castilla and beyond.

About this product

These are artisan tejas in the truest sense: hand-shaped, small-batch production that respects the slow caramelization of sugar and the fragrance of Spanish almonds. The texture is intentionally delicate — not chewy, not hard, but that perfect moment between crisp and yielding. Each 250-gram package holds enough to share, though few do.

How to enjoy

• Serve with afternoon coffee or a glass of sweet wine.
• Break into pieces and scatter over vanilla ice cream.
• Pack in a small tin as a gift for anyone who remembers Spanish pastry shops.
• Pair with a sharp Manchego for an unexpected sweet-and-savory moment.

⭐ Why we love this

Cien Palacios captures the essence of Spanish convent baking — a tradition where simplicity and technique converge. The interplay of caramelized sugar and toasted almonds creates an authentic texture that modern mass production simply cannot replicate; this is how tejas have tasted in Madrid pastry shops for centuries.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve alongside a glass of sweet Oloroso sherry or moscatel — the nuttiness of the almonds echoes beautifully in these fortified wines. Alternatively, enjoy with strong espresso in the Spanish afternoon tradition of merienda, when a single crisp teja becomes a moment of pure indulgence.

📍 From Spain

Cien Palacios sources its almonds from Spain's premier growing regions, particularly the almond heartlands of Castilla-La Mancha, where the continental climate produces nuts of exceptional sweetness and fragrance. This small-batch producer has maintained its artisan methods in the heart of Spain, honoring generations of teja-making heritage.
