A Decorative 1.1kg Tin of Original and Chocolate-Coated Carlos I Polvorones
The Carlos I Assorted Polvorones Tin 1.1kg by Obrador Real brings together two traditional Spanish Christmas specialities from Estepa, Seville, in an elegant, historically inspired metal tin. It contains Original Carlos I Polvorones and Milk Chocolate-Coated Carlos I Polvorones, with approximately 30 to 35 individually wrapped pieces.
The appeal of this assortment lies in offering two different ways to enjoy traditional Spanish polvorones. The original variety highlights the distinctive flavour of Marcona almonds and a delicate, crumbly texture, while the chocolate-coated version adds a smooth milk chocolate covering for a richer, more indulgent treat.
What's Inside the 1.1kg Assorted Tin?
This gift tin contains 1.1kg of Carlos I Polvorones, featuring two varieties:
- Original Carlos I Polvorones: Made with wheat flour, icing sugar, pork lard and selected ground Marcona almonds. They have a delicate, crumbly texture and the characteristic flavour of toasted almonds.
- Chocolate-Coated Carlos I Polvorones: Based on the traditional polvorón recipe, these are covered in milk chocolate, adding a creamy contrast to the crumbly biscuit and a richer cocoa flavour.
The assortment makes it easy to enjoy both varieties during a festive gathering or offer guests a selection of traditional Spanish Christmas sweets without opening several different packs.
An Elegant, Historically Inspired Gift Tin
One of the distinguishing features of the Carlos I Assorted Polvorones Tin 1.1kg is its decorative presentation. The lithographed metal tin features an ornate design inspired by historical motifs, making it particularly suitable for Christmas gifting.
The tin measures 35.4cm long, 23.6cm wide and 6.7cm high. It comes wrapped in personalised coated paper, creating an attractive gift presentation without the need for additional packaging.
Once the polvorones have been enjoyed, the metal tin can be reused to store small items or other wrapped sweets. Its decorative design also makes it suitable for keeping and bringing out again during future Christmas celebrations.
Approximately 30 to 35 Polvorones for Festive Sharing
With approximately 30 to 35 individual polvorones, this generous 1.1kg tin is particularly well suited to family gatherings, Christmas celebrations and festive entertaining.
It also makes an attractive choice for gourmet Christmas hampers, festive gift boxes and corporate Christmas gifts. Combining original and chocolate-coated polvorones provides variety for different tastes, while the decorative metal tin offers a more substantial presentation than an ordinary bag of sweets.
At Licorea, we particularly recommend this assortment when looking for a generous Christmas gift that combines traditional Spanish confectionery with an attractive keepsake tin. Its 1.1kg format provides enough polvorones to share across several festive occasions.
How to Enjoy and Store Carlos I Polvorones
We recommend serving them at a cool room temperature, accompanied by coffee, tea or a glass of sweet wine. The original polvorones pair particularly well with sweet Muscat wine or traditional Alicante mistela, while the chocolate-coated variety makes an excellent accompaniment to black coffee or a hot drink.
For best results, keep the tin in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat. Avoiding high temperatures is particularly important for preserving the milk chocolate coating.
Ingredients and Allergens
The traditional polvorones are made with wheat flour, icing sugar, pork lard and selected ground Marcona almonds. The chocolate-coated variety also contains a milk chocolate covering made with sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, cocoa mass, butter, whey powder, soya lecithin and natural vanilla flavouring.
Contains wheat (gluten), almonds, milk and soya. These polvorones contain pork lard and are therefore unsuitable for vegetarian or vegan diets. Anyone with food allergies should always check the information on the packaging before consumption.
