Tortas de Aceite
Ines Rosales Sweet Olive Oil Tortas. What a find!
I had some time to kill in Hove this lunchtime, and wandered into the Bona Foodie delicatessen. These were irresistible. ‘Delicious snack. Made with extra virgin olive oil. Serve with tea, coffee or cheese’, it said. Along with: handmade in Spain since 1910.
£2.50 was duly handed over for a pack of six, and served with cheese when we got back.
So what are they like? They’re kind of thin crisp flaky pastry with a slight aniseedy background. And, yes, I can confirm they are absolutely yummy with cheese.
I’m shortly going to try the tea or coffee claim, too

These Tortas are typical from AndalucÃa (Southern Spain). Does these have anyseeds? The most common variety doesn’t have them, but it is a great combination.
By the way, you wrote Aciete, and it is Aceite (oil).

I don’t have any to hand because the deli has been closed the last couple of times I’ve been over there
But, if you look at the photo closely, you’ll see just a few small, dark seeds.
I’ll also put my typo straight – thanks for that!
