Sevillano egg-yolk sweets: pure egg yolks beaten with syrup, set into small dome shapes and dusted with sugar. Made by the cloistered Augustinian nuns of the Convento de San Leandro since the 15th century.
Yemas de San Leandro have been made by the cloistered Augustinian nuns of the Convento de San Leandro in Seville since the 15th century, sold from the convent's torno (rotating window) to maintain the cloister. The sweet uses pure egg yolks bound with sugar syrup; the leftover whites went to clarify the local wines. The yemas are a Sevillano religious-festival classic, eaten especially during Semana Santa. Confiteria La Campana and Confiteria Ochoa sell secular versions.
