Mantecados Christmas cookies have been enjoyed in Spain for centuries. These crumbly shortbread cookies are perfect with coffee or tea. We are often asked what the traditional flavor of Christmas is in Spain, and mantecados, along with turrón candy, are a favorite holiday favorite the country.

Our mantecados are made using extra virgin olive oil, flour, cinnamon, sugar, clove and sesame seeds. The result is a rich, crumbly shortbread cookie. Serve a plate of mantecados to your friends and family as you gather this holiday season, they are perfect with coffee or tea.

Aromas de Medina is a family company in the ancient city of Medina Sidonia. There they bake traditional Christmas confections following the traditions of the region. 

Mantecados usually contain lard in Spain, but ours are made with pure extra virgin olive oil. They are just as rich and delicious, but with healthier ingredients. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
