Postre de músico

(Postres de músic, Grana de capellà)

Postre de músico is a simple Spanish dessert consisting of various nuts. Typically, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, and pine nuts are used, while many also include dry fruit, such as raisins, figs, and dry apricots. All the elements are served on a platter, and they are usually not mixed.


This plate is typically served as a dessert, commonly with a digestif or dessert wine. The drink can be served separately, but small shot glasses can also be placed on the plate. The name of this traditional dessert translates as musicians' dessert.


The story is that an assortment of nuts was typically given to street musicians or that it was a typical snack enjoyed by musicians and other performers as they did not have time to enjoy a whole meal.
