Estepa Mantecados
What is ice cream? It’s a typical Christmas sweet of Andalusian pastries. The origin of this delight is found in Estepa, specifically in the Convent of Santa Clara. It is known that the first recipe for mantecado was born here because estimates dating from 1780 are preserved in which the nuns commission a neighbor, Juan Borrego, to buy them several arrobas of sugar, bushels of cocoa and pounds of cinnamon.
Estepa, located in the southeast of the province of Seville, concentrates all the industries that are dedicated to the production and packaging of polvorones and mantecados included in the Protected Geographical Indication, “Polvorones de Estepa” and “ Estepa Mantecados “.
The secret of our mantecados are centered on three fundamental pillars: the quality of our raw materials, respect for the recipes of our ancestors and the human team in charge of turning the above into exquisite products that satisfy the most demanding palates.
