"They're like a crispbread but more luscious; a tortilla but crunchier; a cookie but not as sugary. Whatever they are, Ines Rosales Olive Oil Tortas, made by hand according to a century-old recipe in Seville, Spain, are heavenly. I'm addicted to the sesame-sea salt variety and the sweet anise kind, which I eat with slices of Serrano ham." -Michael Klashman, New York, New York.

Ines Rosales® Sweet & Savory Olive Oil Tortas from Spain.
Ines Rosales Sweet & Savory Olive Oil Tortas have been a traditional snack throughout Spain for 100 years. Each delicious and delicate pastry is handmade and then handwrapped. They are a round, four-inch, wheat flour and olive oil cracker that is thin, bubbly, brown in spots and highly irregular. The light sugar or savory coatings crackles in your mouth; and the olive oil slides between ultra-thin layers and pulls dough apart into small flaky miracles throughout. The taste is magnificent, with salt standing up to the sweet, savory flavor at every bite.
The tortas come carefully wrapped in tissue paper, six to a box.
Ines Rosales Sweet Olive Oil Tortas have been handmade in Seville, Spain since 1910.
