Andrés Gaviño Sweet Orange Tortas are thin, crisp olive oil biscuits from Seville, made with extra virgin olive oil, brown cane sugar and plenty of sweet orange zest. Tortas de aceite have been baked around Seville for centuries, and the story goes that they began as a portable snack for stagecoach travellers. These are made by hand in the traditional way. Each one is pressed out thin, scattered with sugar and baked until flaky and golden, then wrapped in its own sheet of waxed paper. They’re crisp and lightly crumbly, with a fresh, fragrant orange flavour and a gentle fruitiness from the olive oil.
In Andalucía, tortas are an everyday pleasure, eaten with a morning coffee or broken up as a mid-afternoon snack. They’re lovely alongside a glass of oloroso sherry, or with a wedge of mild goat’s cheese or young Manchego after dinner. Crumble one over a bowl of Greek yoghurt and honey, or serve them with a scoop of vanilla or dark chocolate ice cream for an easy dessert with a little Spanish flair.
Why we love it:
- A centuries-old Sevillian speciality, made by hand in the traditional way
- Made with extra virgin olive oil (19%) instead of butter, for a lighter, flakier bite
- Plenty of real orange zest, so the flavour is fresh and fragrant rather than sugary
- Each torta individually wrapped in waxed paper, so they stay crisp and travel well
- A short, simple ingredients list: flour, olive oil, sugar, orange zest and salt
How to use:
- For an Andalucían breakfast, serve 1 torta per person with a strong café con leche
- For an easy dessert, break 2 tortas into rough pieces and scatter over 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of honey or Pedro Ximénez sherry
- For a cheeseboard, serve whole tortas alongside 150g of young Manchego or soft goat’s cheese and a spoonful of quince paste
