Spanish Date and Marcona Almond Cake

De Juan’s Spanish date and Marcona almond cake is a beautifully simple, naturally sweet specialty made entirely from whole dates and premium Spanish Marcona almonds—no flour, preservatives, or colorants. Soft, sticky, and caramel-like from the dates, with a tender crunch from buttery Marcona almonds, this torta delivers a rich balance of sweetness, nuttiness, and warm Mediterranean character.

Traditionally served alongside cheese, it pairs especially well with aged Manchego, goat cheeses, blues, and creamy cow’s milk varieties. Slice it thin for cheese boards, chop it into salads, swirl it into yogurt or oatmeal, or enjoy it as a wholesome, naturally sweet snack. Its pure ingredients allow the fruit and nuts to shine, making it a standout alternative to processed sweets.

Made by the family-founded company José Pelluz Bernal—established in 1980 in Murcia—De Juan has grown from a small local producer into a leading maker of traditional Spanish fruit-and-nut cakes. Still rooted in the artisanal methods that defined their original fig cakes, the company blends heritage and quality to bring authentic Spanish flavors to tables around the world.
