Buying artisanal polvorones is a typical of Spanish Christmas gastronomy, along with mantecados. Their origin dates back to the 16th century, when a payment was made with polvores from Estepa to the first Marquis of Estepa. Since then, the recipe and the custom of enjoying this Christmas sweet have endured through the centuries.

Our recipe for this festive sweet is over a hundred years old and of supreme quality. Buying polvorones perfectly balance between sugar and almonds is no easy task - it is only possible thanks to our artisanal production. They almost melt at the slightest touch. In the past, extra virgin olive oil was also used, but it made them excessively oily.
