The lark and the apple branch
Why the bird, what goes into each alfajor, and how we put them together by hand.
The name
Alondra is Spanish for skylark, the bird on our seal.
On the seal it sits on a blossoming apple branch, inside a gold ring of holly. The apple became one of our shapes.

How they are made
Butter biscuits
The dough is rolled thin and cut into each shape by hand. They bake pale, so they stay tender.
Dulce de leche
The filling goes on thick, right to the edge. It holds the two biscuits together and shows at the sides.
Powdered sugar
Each piece is dusted through a fine sieve once it is filled. No two coats of sugar come out quite the same.
