Spain’s biggest rivalry isn’t football, it’s the fierce battle between concebollistas and sincebollistas over whether onions belong in a Tortilla Española. Some argue the sweetness of poached onion is non-negotiable for flavour, while purists insist that the potato and egg must stand alone.
At Albarino, we believe the real secret to this classic dish lies in the quality of the ingredients rather than just the recipe. Whether you keep it simple or add the onion, using a premium oil like our 100% Arbequina XV Olive Oil is what creates that authentic, melt-in-the-mouth texture. You can pick up a bottle from our deli or browse our full range of Spanish essentials online to master your own version at home.
