La Falda in Madrid Wins Spain’s 2025 Tortilla Championship at Alicante Gastronómica

A high-profile jury required repeated ballots to separate closely matched tortillas.

Overview

  • Chef Alejandro Oliveira’s winning tortilla uses mona lisa potatoes, 12 eggs plus three extra yolks, and no onion.
  • La Teulada of Elche took second place, and Cañadío of Santander—champion in 2021 and 2023—finished third.
  • About 20 cooks from eight regions had one hour to cook live at IFA Fira Alacant for the XVIII Campeonato Nacional Trofeo Tescoma.
  • The panel was chaired by Rafael García Santos with Michelin-starred chefs and media figures, and voting was repeated up to three times to decide the winner.
  • The result shifts the title from Galicia, whose restaurant O Cabo won the previous edition.
