Amargos for christmas Amargos are considered a traditional Balearic sweet, even if we can equally attribute it to other Mediterranean places, where they can be found in the most similar form and texture and with a slight difference of ingredients. Like “panellet” and “ametllats”, it’s first Catalan relatives, they originally had been prepared starting in fall, when the season to harvest almonds had come. Possibly the bitter touch came as a result of including some bitter almonds in order to find a use for them, as too it is done with “torta de turron” as one didn’t have much use for bitter almonds until they are now utilized for cosmetics and in Italy for “Amaretto”, an almond liquer.
