Sobaos pasiegos are a sweet that are made from a beaten dough of wheat flour, butter, sugar and egg, butter being the only fat allowed in its preparation. Sobao pasiego is a rectangular-shaped whipped dough whose crumb is deep yellow and its surface has a characteristic tan color. It has a dense, spongy and juicy texture. In addition, it has a sweet flavor and the buttery aroma stands out.

The production and packaging area of ​​sobaos covered by the Protected Geographical Indication “Sobao Pasiego” is centered on the so-called Pas region, which covers the geographical area delimited by the Pas and Pisueña rivers and the area of ​​influence of said rivers.

It was born in Pas due to the abundance and excellent quality of its famous cow butter, an essential material that becomes part of its components, among which are also eggs in their highest degree of freshness and richness of assimilable materials. For this reason, Sobao Pasiego has highly nutritious conditions and is perfectly digestible and has an exquisite flavor, which is dominated by the delicious butter it contains.

Why Casa Olmo?

Because Casa Olmo is a company founded in 1911 by Braulio del Olmo Madrazo to produce typical products from the Pas Valley in the town of Ontaneda, on the banks of the Pas River and in the heart of the beautiful Pasiegos Valleys.

It all started as a tea room in which sobaos and quesadas were made homemade in the summer for consumption by families and tourists in general who came to enjoy the famous and healthy waters of the area’s spa, as well as like those who made a short stop on the way to their vacation destination.

Due to their great acceptance by customers, over time the consumption and recognition of these products increased, reaching the present day, where they have been distributed throughout the national territory for decades thanks to the work of Carlos Pardo. del Olmo, owner of the business for more than 40 years.

This recognition also came from the rest of Europe, and more specifically from Brussels, where the European Commission admitted Sobao Pasiego from Casa Olmo to the list of products with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), something which is demonstrated through the label that appears on the sobaos cases.

Likewise, a few years ago the difficult challenge of exporting Sobao Pasiego outside our borders was achieved, crossing the pond to Mexico, where from the first moment they knew how to appreciate the quality and good flavor of a product so typical of Cantabria and that Casa Olmo has been manufacturing for more than 100 years.

Despite this national and international expansion, the store where it all began is still preserved, maintaining the same essence and good treatment of customers, something that also differentiates a century-old company like Casa Olmo.
