Description

Bright, crumbly, and full of character – the Lemon Mantecado is a refreshing twist on one of Spain’s most beloved traditional sweets. Handmade by Aromas de Medina, this 300g pack features artisan mantecados infused with natural lemon aroma, delivering a zesty lift to the classic buttery biscuit.

The mantecado has its roots in 16th-century Andalusia, where an abundance of cereals and pork lard led to the creation of this festive treat. This lemon variety adds a surprising citrus note that balances beautifully with the richness of the dough, making it a favourite among those who enjoy lighter, aromatic desserts.

Crafted with Iberian pork fat, wheat flour, sugar, and lemon essence, each piece is finished with a delicate dusting of icing sugar – giving it the signature snowy appearance. Whether you’re serving them with tea, gifting them to loved ones, or simply enjoying a quiet moment, these mantecados bring a little sunshine to your table.

Ingredients: WHEAT flour, lard (pork fat and antioxidant BHA), sugar, cinnamon, lemon peel (0.08%) and flavourings. (May contain traces of peanuts, soy, sulphites, milk, nuts, mustard, sesame and egg)
