Spanish olive oil tortas are a feature of Spanish cuisine that can be found all over the country. They are a round, sweet crisp bread, with the spices and flavors differing depending upon which region they come from. The ones that I’m sharing today hail from the town of Castilleja de la Cuesta in the province of Seville, and are flavored with sesame and anise.

This particular tortas de aceite is protected by the Spanish government as an important regional food that can only be sold under the name tortas de aceite de Castilleja de la Cuesta if it meets certain standards and contains certain ingredients.

Sometimes this snack is referred to as tortas de Inés Rosales because one of the largest manufacturers of these is a Spanish company called Inés Rosales, which has been producing them since 1910.

These crisps are most often enjoyed during merienda, the afternoon snack before dinner later in the evening.

  1. Olive oil is indeed liquid gold, in Andalusia they even use it to make ice-cream. Btw, I noticed you made a shorter intro, is it because of Youtube algorithms requirements?
