What is a Mantecado?

Mantecados are traditional Spanish shortbread cookies, typically enjoyed during the holiday season. Their name comes from the Spanish word "manteca," meaning lard, which was used in older recipes.

From Estepa (Sevilla), Spain

La Despensa de Palacio, located in Estepa, Sevilla, is a prestigious bakery and chocolate factory known for crafting authentic Spanish Christmas sweets and handmade chocolates. With over 250 years of family tradition, this artisan workshop produces a wide range of Spanish pastries, cookies, and chocolates following the same methods used by their ancestors. Today, La Despensa de Palacio continues to be a trusted name in creating premium holiday treats like mantecados, polvorones, and chocolate specialties, all made using wood-fired ovens and top-quality ingredients.

A Legacy of Artisan Pastry and Chocolate Making Since 1743
The roots of La Despensa de Palacio go back to 1743 when Antonio Santaella, an ancestor of the current owners, began working as a baker for the Marqués de Estepa. His family later acquired the bakery and carried on the tradition of producing handcrafted sweets and baked goods. Over time, the family perfected their methods, transforming the bakery into a distinguished artisan producer of Christmas sweets like mantecados and polvorones, while also becoming a premium chocolate factory in Andalusia.

The Only Artisan Chocolate Maker in Andalusia
Beyond their signature Christmas sweets, La Despensa de Palacio has become renowned for their artisanal chocolate creations. Trained by master chocolatiers from Switzerland and France, including the renowned Maurice Bernachon (chocolate supplier to the Élysée Palace), the family has mastered the art of producing chocolates from scratch, starting with the finest cocoa beans. Today, they are the only remaining chocolate factory in Andalusia that produces chocolate directly from cocoa beans, making them a rare gem in the Spanish chocolate industry.

Handcrafted Excellence and Premium Packaging
Each product from La Despensa de Palacio is crafted with care, combining exquisite quality with premium packaging. Their beautiful metal tins and custom-designed boxes feature original oil paintings, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every sweet and chocolate. This dedication to quality has earned them a place in some of the most select establishments in Spain and abroad.
