Almond Crumble Cakes - Polvorones. Doña Jimena 200g

Few sweets say Christmas in Spain quite like polvorones. Rich, crumbly and wonderfully delicate, these traditional Spanish almond cakes from Doña Jimena have the unmistakable melt-in-the-mouth texture that has made them a festive favourite for generations.

Polvorones take their name from the Spanish word polvo, meaning “dust” or “powder”—a reference to their famously fragile, crumbly texture. Take a bite and they practically dissolve in your mouth, releasing the warm, toasted flavour of almonds and a gentle sweetness.

Made in the traditional style with almonds and wheat flour, these little cakes are dense and rich without being overly sweet. Their distinctive texture sets them apart from an ordinary biscuit: tender, buttery and exceptionally crumbly, with the roasted almond flavour taking centre stage.

Doña Jimena is a renowned Spanish producer of traditional Christmas confectionery, particularly known for the sweets that fill Spanish tables throughout the festive season. Polvorones are among the most iconic. Alongside turrón and mantecados, they are an essential part of the assortment of sweets brought out after meals and offered to family and visitors throughout Christmas.

Enjoy them straight from the wrapper with coffee, tea, a glass of sweet Spanish wine or an after-dinner liqueur. And a little advice for first-timers: polvorones are supposed to crumble! Many Spaniards even gently squeeze the wrapped polvorón before opening it, compacting it slightly and making it easier to eat without wearing half of it.
