Everything about Tortell totally explained
Tortell (
Catalan [turˈteλ]
or [torˈteλ]) is a
Catalan typically O-shaped pastry stuffed with
marzipan, that on some special occasions is topped with glazed fruit. It is traditionally eaten on
January 6 (
Epiphany (holiday)), at the conclusion of the
Twelve Days of Christmas. This is also known as the day of the
Three Wise Men according to the
Catholic liturgical calendar.
The
tortell de reis contains two hidden surprises: a dried
field bean, and a little figurine the same size. The person who gets the figurine in their cut gets to wear the paper crown. The person who gets the dried fava bean in their cut gets to pay for the tortell.
A similar tradition in and around
New Orleans, Louisiana is the
king cake.
