Product Info
An ode to the Portuguese Swallow. It is no exaggeration to say that the swallow (Andorinha) is one of the most famous Portuguese symbols. Symbol of love and loyalty, but also of home and family, the swallow represents feelings well-rooted in Portuguese culture.
The swallow is linked to many things we treasure. Swallows mate for life and raise their chicks together, which is why it's such a sentimental symbol. These birds don't depart from their nests until all the babies do, and always return. It's no wonder they're an emblem of fond memories.
That bond to “the nest” - to relatives, a place, or a home - is so fundamental and profound in Portuguese culture that we created a word for it: Saudade. This idea is summed up perfectly by the nostalgic sensation when you savor your grandmother's cuisine, your grandfathers life adventures of another time, the smell of freshly baked bread, or a familiar aroma from your childhood. (For us it's crickets chirping and night-blooming jasmine in warm summer nights and wood crackling in a fireplace in winter.) The swallow is thought to be the embodiment of that feeling.
When you give a swallow as a gift, it carries the saudade of the giver, love and longing, taking those good memories with it, creating a forever bond between the two of you.
