Flor de Antequera Andalusian Butter Mantecado 190 Gr

This is a traditional Andalusian mantecado, a type of biscuit with a crumbly, buttery texture that originates from Antequera, Málaga, Spain. Mantecados are a typical Christmas treat, although they are enjoyed all year round. This product, made by La Flor de Antequera, is notable for its pure butter flavour, offering a soft, crumbly texture that melts in the mouth.

It comes in a 190-gram box, which usually contains between 10 and 12 units.

Main Features:

• Flavor: Butter predominates, with a subtle sweetness and a fine, powdery texture. This variant does not include additional flavors such as almond or cinnamon, being the classic “butter” version.
• Origin and tradition: Handcrafted in Antequera using traditional recipes dating back centuries. The brand uses local ingredients, including high-quality Iberian lard, which gives it its characteristic creaminess.
• Presentation: 190g box, ideal for sharing or giving as a gift, especially during holidays.
• Main ingredients: Wheat flour, butter, sugar, and, in some cases, Iberian pork lard, depending on the specific recipe of the brand. This variant does not contain nuts.

Additional Information:

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
• Mantecados have a good shelf life due to their low moisture content, but it is recommended to consume them within 6 months to enjoy their optimal freshness.
• Culture: Mantecados are part of Andalusia’s rich confectionery tradition, often made in convents or small family-run bakeries. La Flor de Antequera is renowned for upholding this artisanal heritage.
