These crumbly, butter-rich cakes melt on the tongue with the subtle sweetness of free-range egg yolks and the faint nuttiness of toasted flour. Each 450-gram box contains individually wrapped pieces — the kind of delicate sweet that Spanish families tuck into afternoon coffee or offer as a small luxury to guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMantecados belong to Spain's quiet canon of artisanal sweets: not showpiece turrón, but the everyday indulgence that convents and local bakeries have perfected. This version relies on a short list of ingredients — eggs, wheat flour, butter, sugar — and the patience of hand-crafting. The result is a biscuit that crumbles without apology, leaving traces of golden flour and egg richness on your fingertips. A product of genuine craft, not industrial scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDunk into hot coffee or Spanish hot chocolate for an extended, luxurious breakfast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with a glass of sweet Málaga wine or pale sherry in the evening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffer wrapped individually as a small gift or party favor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnjoy as a standalone afternoon sweet with no ceremony required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet weight: 450g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Spain (Madrid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Puerta del Ángel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 8435341900047\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Store in a cool, dry place.

The egg yolk base gives them an almost custard-like richness that industrial shortbreads can never replicate, making each crumb a small act of indulgence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🍷 Pairing suggestion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDunk into thick Spanish hot chocolate for the classic Madrid breakfast ritual, or pair with a glass of pale Fino sherry or sweet Málaga wine in the evening. Their delicate crumb also makes them ideal alongside strong café con leche—the butter dissolves beautifully into the foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📍 From Spain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the convent bakeries of Madrid, mantecados have been a mainstay of Spanish afternoon culture since the 18th century. Puerta del Ángel sources from this Madrid heritage, keeping the artisanal method and regional authenticity that distinguishes these from mass-produced Spanish sweets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El Corte Inglés","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58180934730112,"sku":"A42070270","price":86.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/5020\/9152\/files\/www-001013334700062-00.jpg?v=1780104770","url":"https:\/\/iberiandirect.com\/products\/puerta-del-angel-artisanal-egg-mantecados-convent-shortbread-450g","provider":"Iberian Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
