The Spanish omelette is a pintxo you’ll see everywhere in the bars and restaurants of Biscay, and there are kinds for all tastes: juicy, sticky, semi-hard or hard. Insofar as the ingredients, the traditional Spanish omelette is made with eggs, potatoes, olive oil, salt and onion. However, there are people who prefer to leave out the onion, while others think it’s an essential ingredient.
We don’t want to get wrapped up in an impossible debate, but… Which one do you like more, a Spanish omelette with onion or without?
At Disfruta Bizkaia you’re sure to find the pintxo you like most, because we have the best Spanish omelettes in Biscay: the 64 participants in the 2023 edition of Bizkaiko Tortilla Kopa and the finalists in previous editions.
It’s a food competition for the historical territory of Biscay that is backed by the Asociación de Hostelería de Bizkaia, with the spirit of the championship matches at San Mamés. The 64 participants competed in four elimination rounds until there were four finalists, who went head-to-head cooking their Spanish omelettes in front of a professional jury in the grand finals of Bizkaiko Tortilla Kopa held at San Mamés. In addition, the popular vote of the customers of the bars during the championships decided the Goiko prize for the people’s choice of best Spanish omelette.
