In Spain, traditional sweets have taken on a new twist thanks to an unexpected collaboration between music and gastronomy. Following the release of Rosalía’s latest album, Lux, one of Ávila’s oldest pastry shops decided to surprise not only music fans but also dessert lovers. Inspired by the track Sauvignon Blanc, the chefs created a limited edition of the famous Yemas de Santa Teresa by adding a sophisticated touch to the classic recipe—the aroma of white grapes.
The company, which has preserved its recipe since 1860, is not affiliated with any monasteries but faithfully maintains historical traditions. This time, they decided to experiment: the delicate yolks were covered with a thin glaze infused with Sauvignon Blanc, giving the dessert fresh citrusy notes and a slight tang. The design was inspired by the white veil on the singer’s album cover—this detail has become the recognizable symbol of the new collection.
The first batches of these sweets sold out within hours. Customers praise the unusual flavor combination and the creative presentation. Producers admit demand was so high that it’s not always possible to restock quickly. A special aspect of their production is that the desserts require time to dry, allowing them to retain a crunchy crust and a soft center. This slows the process, but ensures the quality that makes Yemas de Santa Teresa so prized.
Tradition meets modernity: how music is transforming gastronomy
The idea to add Sauvignon Blanc came about spontaneously while the team was listening to Rosalía’s new album. It turned out the singer was inspired by Santa Teresa de Jesús, known for her asceticism and renunciation of material things. This theme became the foundation not only for the music, but also for the new dessert version, bridging the past and present.
The company’s management emphasizes that, for them, this was less a commercial venture and more a creative experiment—a unique tribute to the artist. Even though most sales occur during the holidays, the limited edition has caused a sensation among young people and Rosalía fans. Plans include sending the singer a box of treats, since she’s famous for her love of baked goods.
The secret to their success: simplicity and innovation
The recipe consists of just two main ingredients: egg yolk and sugar. But it was the addition of Sauvignon Blanc and a special glaze that turned the classic dessert into a gastronomic trend. The treat looks like a pearl on the outside, while inside it remains delicate and melts in the mouth. This approach has preserved the authenticity while also appealing to a new audience that values fresh ideas and respect for tradition.
While the company is still working on getting Rosalía to try their creation, fans have already embraced the unique flavor and original concept. The limited-edition Yemas de Lux has become a true sensation for those with a sweet tooth and lovers of modern culture.
