Nothing fights off the midday slump quite like a coffee or tea break, and Inés Rosales is here to make this daily ritual a little sweeter. Meet the Mediterranean sweet torta: a thin, crisp sweet biscuit made using only natural ingredients, just as good with your morning coffee as it is packed for a picnic.
This ritual has been loved in Spain for years, from a century-old brand from Seville specialising in traditional Spanish pastry-making. Its flagship product, the sweet Torta, is made with freshly baked sourdough and only natural ingredients, giving it a thin, crisp texture that snaps with a simple bite.
The Inés Rosales sweet range offers plenty of ways to enjoy that moment, whatever your taste: the original, still made to a century-old recipe; the orange sweet torta, with light citrus notes for an exquisite bite; and the cinnamon, warm and spiced, perfect for the colder months.
Inés Rosales tortas selection
For those who prefer something savoury, there's also the sweet chilli torta or the rosemary and thyme: the same crisp, sourdough base and the same olive oil, taken in a completely different direction.
Every part of the day brings its own moment for a sweet torta. In the morning, it pairs well with that first coffee, adding a crisp bite that wakes up the palate.
In the afternoon, alongside a cup of tea, it makes for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up between tasks. It's also an easy teatime option for little ones, whether on its own or with a glass of milk, and it needs no prep. And when it's time to head out, a few tortas slipped into a bag or backpack are ready to enjoy wherever you are.
On its own, but just as good shared: spread with jam or honey for extra sweetness, topped with a square of chocolate, or served alongside a handful of fresh fruit for a lighter contrast.
For a picnic, simply pack a box of sweet tortas and some seasonal fruit for an easy sweet moment, with nothing to prepare in advance.
