You have to put it on your hand and close the hand to a fist with the polvoron inside to that it’s more compact. And then you have to say Zaragoza out loud while you are eating it.
Ground almonds held together with fat, if I’m not mistaken.
This is undigested almonds (from pigs) held together by the fat typically found inside the pig’s nutsack. The almonds have to be unidgested cuz the pig’s acid makes them soft but crunchy at the same time. The ingredients are gross (and it’s even more gross to make) but it tastes great and thats all that matters!!
It’s called dust and it tastes like dust. An abomination.
I can taste this. Miss it so much
POLVORONES AAAAAA I’M GOING TO CRY
I’ve been living in the US for three years now and I miss these so goddamn much 😭
I’ve also discovered it recently, loved the taste but also thought it seemed super crumbly, I actually thought I’d smashed mine on the way home
FAT. You’re eating fat. But it’s sooooooooo good
And dry AF
I am from that city
Yeah you just have to first crush it in your hands to compress it all. But ugh these are delicious I miss these. I used to have these every winter before I moved to the USA.
Lard!!!
You are eating Christmas :,)
Es un postre muy famoso en España que hacen en Rusia : [https://youtu.be/PWPHkOyDwNM](https://youtu.be/PWPHkOyDwNM)
Damn, now I really want to eat one.
Polvorones, made of almonds, flour, lard and powdered sugar. They’re not particularily hard to make at home and don’t require a lot of ingredients (what I mentioned, plus cinnamon and anisette for flavouring), you can search for a recipe online.
Ezo e un polvorón
Polvorones!!! It’s too early mate.
Am I the only one who stocks up at Christmas (Mercadona gluten-free lemon ones) to eat throughout the year?
If in Madrid city, there was a shop near Plaza Mayor that sells them all year.

Polvorones are from Estepa…not Pamplona 🙂
