I've been staring at the Ines Rosales Sweet Olive Oil Tortas in our Despana Basket, thinking that they would probably just be a standard cracker-like bread. I'm feeling a little bit under the weather, and that's when I want crackers. When I opened the package up, the wrapping of each in wax paper made sense. It was oily, but only to your fingers, not in your mouth.
Admittedly, I guess I didn't pay attention to the word "sweet" in the name, so it was a little shocking for me when I tried it. It was lightly sweetened, but more jarring was the strong anise flavor.
Obviously, it's available at Despana, but these Tortas from Seville, Spain, can also be purchased on-line

The crackers look good though, but I guess you do have to know the anise flavour's coming. They look like crackers I've had growing up in the Philippines, only I can't remember the name now. |

JS, were the Philipino ones also anise flavored? |

I buy these at my local Whole Foods right outside of Philadelphia. |
