Find out about five regional treats sure to delight sweet-toothed visitors to the Eastern Algarve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Algarve region has a strong culinary tradition and rich cuisine, with many of the region\u2019s sweet treats making excellent use of locally-grown Algarve almonds. Today we\u2019re shining a spotlight on five of the Algarve\u2019s regional sweet treats so you don\u2019t miss out next time you\u2019re at Golden Club Cabanas<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Algarve Marzipan Figures<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

The best known and most\nsought-after indulgence, both in Portugal and abroad, marzipan figures\ncertainly get mouths watering with their appealing colours and unique shapes.\nComing in shapes and sizes from animals to fruits and vegetables, these\ndelicacies are made of modelled marzipan paste – a combination of almonds,\nsugar and egg whites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dom Rodrigo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Carefully wrapped in coloured foil and made using egg threads, \u201covos moles\u201d (eggs and sugar) and grated almond topped with a drizzle of sugar syrup, these delicious parcels of joy are irresistible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tavira Mimoso Cake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cake combines two of the Algarve\u2019s most traditional flavours: orange and almond. And it\u2019s a must next time you\u2019re on holiday in Tavira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olh\u00e3o Folar Sweet Bread<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
Olh\u00e3o Folar bread: a layered desert, it was named one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

One of the 7 Sweet Wonders of Portugal<\/a>, Olh\u00e3o folar bread is sure to delight anyone visiting the Algarve, whether at Easter or any other time of year. The circular dough is layered into a cake tin with butter, sugar and cinnamon syrup ladled in between each layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Algarve Trio Cake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clue\u2019s in the name for this one, with the \u201ctrio\u201d being made up of three ingredients that could not be more complementary: carob, fig, and, of course, almond. This cake is also known as the Cake of Three Delights – and we wonder why that could be \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many treats to choose from all that\u2019s left to do is pick your favourite (if you can narrow it down to a single one, that is).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
