''Yemas de Santa Teresa'' (en: Yolks of Saint Teresa) or ''Yemas de Ávila'' (en: Yolks of Ávila) is a pastry that is identified with the Spanish province of Ávila. Its fame has spread across the country and they can be bought throughout Spain but typically they are a souvenir connected with the city of Ávila. They are very popular for its distinctive look: small orange balls served in a white confectionary paper and are made to honor Teresa of Ávila. ==History== The origin of the pastry is uncertain but there are several opinions where it comes from. One theory assumes that it was a pastry shop in the Medieval Ages in Andalusia called "Flor de Castilla" that first sold a pastry under the name "Yemas de Santa Teresa". Don Isabelo Sánchez, founder of the pastry shop "La Dulce Aviles" (nowadays known as "Flor de Castilla") in Ávila commercialized the pastry in 1860 under the name "Yemas de Santa Teresa". The success of the dish was great and other pastry chefs in Ávila soon started to sell similar pastries which they called "Yemas de Ávila". Another theory credits the monks of the convent of Teresa of Ávila with the invention of the dish. With the beginning of the 21st century the market for "Yemas de Ávila" expanded and they are now on demand in North America. Therefore, a new packaging system was developed to improve the preservation and make them survive the shipping to America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yemas de Santa Teresa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
