Torta de Santiago (in Galician) or Tarta de Santiago (in Spanish), literally meaning ''cake of St. James'', is an almond cake or pie from Galicia with origin in the Middle Ages. The Galician name for cake is ''Torta'' whilst it is often referred to ''Tarta'', which is the Spanish word. The filling principally consists of ground almonds, eggs, and sugar, with additional flavouring of lemon zest, sweet wine, brandy, or grape marc, depending on the recipe used.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=DOOR )〕 It is a round shape and can be made with or without a base which can be either puff pastry or shortcrust pastry. The top of the pie is decorated with powdered sugar, masked by an imprint of the Cross of Saint James (''cruz de Santiago'') which gives the pastry its name. In May 2010, the EU gave Tarta de Santiago ''PGI'' status within Europe. To qualify, the cake must be made in the Autonomous Community of Galicia and contain at least 33% almonds, excluding the base.〔 It was the sweet chosen to represent Spain in the Café Europe initiative of the Austrian presidency of the European Union, on Europe Day 2006. ==See also== * List of almond dishes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tarta de Santiago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
