Sweet Tortas de Aceite Crisps by Ines Rosales

In 1910 a woman named Ines Rosales started to make olive oil tortas (tortas de Aceite) by hand and sold them at the train station in Sevilla. Soon she could not keep up with the demand, so she employed the women of the local village to assist her in producing these delicate and crisp treats. She used local ingredients including extra virgin olive oil. In a short time this Andalucian specialty became known and enjoyed throughout Spain.

Today the tradition continues. Ines Rosales Sweet Olive Oil tortas and almond tortas are still made by hand with the same recipe Ines Rosales created almost 100 years earlier. Women from the local village are still employed to hand-flatten and hand-wrap the tortas that are made in small batches.

These anise dessert crisps may remind you of the pie crust cookies your Mom made when she was trimming her pie before putting it in the oven. Those were generally sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, but the classic Ines Rosales crisps have a few anise seeds sprinkled on top of a healthy treat made with olive oil.

Ines Rosales cookies and crackers are made with non-GMO ingredients and come in packaging made from recycled materials. The factory near Sevilla is mostly powered by solar panels that capture the plentiful sunshine of Andalucía!
