With the arrival of the Christmas, supermarket shelves are overflowing with all the sweets that cannot be missing at these parties. In addition to nougats, polvorones, mantecados and marzipans, there is one that takes the crown (never better said) and that cannot be missing on one of the most special nights of the year: the Roscón de Reyes.
There are many who anticipate the day of the Three Kings and prefer to taste this delicious sweet (filled or not) days and even weeks before. Therefore, it is not surprising that we already find a wide variety of them in supermarkets. But which is the best of all?
The OCU (Organization of Consumers and Users) It has a ranking that indicates which is the best Roscón de Reyes. It was made in 2021, being the most recent that there is to date. The gold is taken by the The English Court, specifically, the cream filling. Its price is €15.95 and can be purchased both online and in physical stores.
But, why does the Roscón de Reyes from El Corte Inglés surpass that of other renowned supermarkets? The OCU is clear: “The soft flavor of orange blossom water can be appreciated in its bun, its cream filling stands out for its creaminess and its dairy flavor. In addition, for its good quality in the fats used, it obtains the Best of Analysis award.”
But the one from El Corte Inglés is followed by the one from Lidl, which “also uses good quality fats and is acceptable when tasting,” they explain. This one takes the award of Advantageous Purchase for its price. Yes indeed. Its price has risen from €6.65/kg in 2021 to €7.49/kg this year (in the case of the cream filling).
To analyze supermarket roscones, the OCU has taken into account the labeling, the nutritional quality of the product, the fats used, the sugars and the additives. The group of experts came to the conclusion that the fats that are used in general terms are better than other years, which is, without a doubt, very good news.
And you, are you already sure where you are going to buy your Roscón de Reyes?
