Conil. Traditional confectionery
With sweet wines and sherries and perfect desserts sweetened with local
moscatel grapes, Conil’s traditional sweets stand out by their sheer
simplicity, but with an extraordinary taste.
Desserts prepared without preservatives or colouring,
and cooked as they should be, over a long and low heat.
These recipes break a few rules by giving away some of
the darkest, if sweetest, secrets of Conil cookery.
