Cien Palacios Artisan Almond Tejas – Spanish Cookie 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.
