Flor De Antequera Andalusian Banana Mantecado 190 GR is a seasonal sweet, very popular during the Christmas season in Spain.

This is a traditional Andalusian mantecado, a polvorón-style Christmas sweet with a distinctive banana flavour, produced by La Flor de Antequera, a renowned bakery in Antequera, Málaga, Spain. Mantecados are a staple of Andalusian confectionery, made with flour, lard, sugar and flavourings, and this variant adds a tropical twist to the classic recipe. The 190g pack is a standard size for this brand. La Flor de Antequera is part of the Incoan group, which includes other historic brands such as D. Sancho Melero. Although La Flor de Antequera’s specific banana variant is not currently featured in online catalogues (it may be seasonal or a limited edition), the group has introduced banana mantecados in recent years, such as the ‘Doble Plátano’ version. This reflects innovation within the tradition of Antequera mantecados, where manufacturers are experimenting with fruit flavours such as mango, pineapple and banana to modernise the product. Key details, brand and origin: La Flor de Antequera, made in Antequera, considered the ‘birthplace’ of mantecados since the 16th century.
