Before all else, there was this one. The first. The one a mother shaped by hand to feed her family — and which, a hundred years later, still transports you with a single bite.

 

Close your eyes. Smell that anise aroma slowly rising, that crispness breaking under your teeth, that warmth of olive oil reminiscent of the Andalusian sun. This is exactly what Inés Rosales felt in 1910 when she shaped her first "tortas" near Seville station — to support her family, without imagining that she had just created something eternal.

More than a hundred years have passed. Trends have changed, factories have modernized everywhere else — but not here. Each "torta" is still born under skilled hands, one by one, shaped with the same patient gesture passed down from generation to generation. It is this slowness, this refusal of ease, that gives this small golden disk its unique texture: light, crisp, almost fragile, yet carrying an entire century of memory.

Nothing is added that shouldn't be. No preservatives, no enhancers, no shortcuts — just flour, extra virgin olive oil, a little sugar, and that anise and sesame scent that, by itself, can take you somewhere. Perhaps to a sunny terrace. Perhaps to the kitchen of a grandmother you never knew, but can already imagine.

Have it with your coffee, in that fragile morning moment where everything can still gently shift. Crumble it over fruit or yogurt to surprise yourself. Or dare to serve it with cheese, pâtés, a beautiful charcuterie board — and watch your guests' faces light up at this unexpected combination of sweet and savory. Dairy-free, non-GMO, no artificial colors: a simple, honest pleasure you can indulge in without a second thought.

Why our customers love them:

  • Inés Rosales' very first recipe — the one that gave birth to an entire tradition
  • That anise and sesame aroma that instantly transports you to old Spain
  • The artisanal, patient touch, never rushed, never industrialized
  • A bite that's as good for breakfast as it is for an aperitif, with cheese or charcuterie
  • Dairy-free, non-GMO, no artificial colors — just sincerity in every ingredient

WHY WE USE THIS SHIPPING SYSTEM ONCE A WEEK

The reason is simple: that's why we use this shipping system once a week, where products are shipped on Sundays.

If we were to keep all products in large quantities, we would need a very, very, very large warehouse, like a large distribution center. The cost of that would significantly increase our prices.

Instead, we keep limited stock and receive weekly deliveries.

However, not all of our 100+ suppliers deliver at the same time, and not all of them have an accurate inventory system — and that's another story lol.

For this reason, in order to build your package, we have to wait for products from all suppliers. If we already have all the items, your package may be sent faster. It also depends on the volume of orders.

We hope you understand 🙏

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

All orders are dispatched once a week, on Sundays. All services, including express service, follow this same shipping schedule.

You place an order here (Week 1) – for example: whether it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

👉 This is considered our order week (Week 1).

👉 Your order will be prepared from the following Monday until Saturday, then dispatched on the following Sunday (the next Sunday, not the one in the week you ordered).

👉 If you order on Sunday or later in the new week, your package will then be dispatched the Sunday after that, approximately 14 days later.

Product FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

Orders are processed weekly.

If you place your order before Sunday, it will be processed and shipped on the following Sunday (not the immediate Sunday).

If you order after Sunday, it will be processed and shipped on the following Sunday (i.e., the second Sunday after your order).

WHERE ARE THESE PRODUCTS LOCATED?

All our products are already in Canada, in our warehouse, ready to be shipped. You will not have any customs fees or hidden charges upon delivery.

WHY DO YOU SHIP ONCE A WEEK?

Because we work with several importers and suppliers.

Some products are in limited quantity in our warehouse and we must wait for the missing items to be received.

Since our suppliers do not all deliver on the same day, we consolidate orders and ship once a week to ensure your order is complete.

WHY IS AN ITEM MISSING FROM MY ORDER?

Some of our suppliers do not have a real-time inventory system and do not always notify us when a product is out of stock.

In addition, some received items may have an expiration date that is too soon. We check each product upon receipt and remove those that do not meet our standards.

If an item is missing, it is because we have chosen not to include it in order to guarantee you the best possible quality.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A RETURN POLICY?

As these are food products, we cannot accept returns for safety and hygiene reasons.

Once a product has been shipped, we cannot guarantee the storage or handling conditions.

Why has the price of this product increased since my last order?

Our products are purchased in euros, so the exchange rate directly influences our prices.

In addition, transportation and import costs can vary, which can also impact the final price.
