🍥 Panellets - traditional small, round marzipan cakes native to the Balearic Islands and other parts of Spain.
💀 They are the typical food of All Saints’ Day (1st November, or “the day of the dead”).
🍞 Their name literally means “little breads” in Catalan.
🟡 Made primarily from a sweet marzipan base of ground almonds, sugar, and egg.
🥥 The most classic version is rolled in pine nuts (piñones), though other popular varieties feature grated coconut, chopped almonds, coffee, lemon peel, or chocolate.
⚰️ Their origin is unclear, but it seems they are the descendants of ancient funerary rites which involved taking small bread rolls to the church, or tombs of the departed, as an offering during this festival. Also, the fact that they are long-lasting foodstuff links to the concept of eternity and remembrance of the dead.
🛒 In Ibiza you can get them in Bonanza Panadería
