Panellet is a traditional Catalan confection made primarily from marzipan-style almond and sugar paste, typically rolled in pine nuts, coconut, or other coatings and baked until golden. It is closely associated with La Castanyada, the Catalan autumn festival held around All Saints' Day, and is usually eaten in small pieces as a sweet treat alongside roasted chestnuts and sweet wine. Per 100 g, panellets provide 430 kcal, 9.5 g of protein, 22 g of fat, 52 g of carbohydrates and 3.5 g of fibre, with a notably high sugar content of 44 g. They contribute 280 mg of potassium and 80 mg of calcium per 100 g. Panellets are suitable for vegetarian, gluten-free and Mediterranean dietary patterns.
How many calories in a panellet?
Panellets contain 430 kcal per 100 g. A single panellet typically weighs around 20–25 g, putting one piece at roughly 85–110 kcal.
Are panellets gluten-free?
Traditional panellets are made with almond paste and sugar rather than wheat flour, making them naturally gluten-free. Always check the label on commercial versions, as some producers may use shared equipment or add binding agents that contain gluten.
Is panellet high in sugar?
Yes — panellets contain 44 g of sugars per 100 g, which accounts for the majority of their 52 g total carbohydrate content. This reflects the large amount of sugar used in the almond paste base, so portion size is worth keeping in mind.
