What Are Alfajores de Medina?
Alfajores de Medina are a traditional Andalusian sweet with centuries of history, closely linked to the region’s Arab heritage. Their origin dates back to the Andalusí period, when honey, spices, and nuts were essential ingredients in pastry making. Handcrafted in Medina Sidonia (Cádiz), these alfajores stand out for their slightly crisp exterior and soft, aromatic center, which blends the sweetness of honey with the warm, spicy notes of cinnamon, clove, and anise.
Each bite is a sensory journey into the culinary roots of southern Spain. Their balanced flavor and unmistakable aroma make them a Christmas classic, though they’re enjoyed all year round. Aromas de Medina’s Alfajores de Medina keep this tradition alive, made by hand with natural ingredients and following the original PGI-recognized recipe.
