Breogán Almond Cake, a brand of high-quality, 100% Galician products, has committed to producing one of the most recognizable cakes in Galician cuisine.

The almond cake that defines Galicia is the Tarta de Breogán
No one knows the exact origin of almond cake in Galicia, although its existence is known from as far back as the 16th century, when its fame spread throughout Spain via the Camino de Santiago—and with good reason! Breogán cake is characterized by a sweet flavor, but without being cloying, and thanks to the high percentage of almonds in the traditional recipe, it achieves a very distinctive texture that falls somewhere between a firm dessert and a soft cake that melts in your mouth.
The key to Breogán's unique flavor and texture lies in the fact that, unlike most cakes, it's made without flour. This also makes it generally suitable for people with celiac disease.

WHY IS ALMOND CAKE CALLED BREOGÁN CAKE?
All Breogán cakes are almond cakes, but not all almond cakes are Breogán cakes. The key to the origin of this dessert's unique name lies in its decoration: the authentic Breogán cake is distinguished by the cross of the Order of Santiago on top. This decoration is achieved by carefully ensuring that the sugar used to glaze the cake doesn't fall into the shape of the cross.
