Águila Alfajor Classic Minicake with Dulce de Leche and Cream, 69 g / 2.4 oz (pack of 6)

This minicake is manufactured by Águila, one of the leading brand when it comes to all things chocolate. A few decades ago, Águila decided to branch out into alfajores with a really cake-like flavor and consistency: it's almost like buying a slice of traditional cake, except in comes in a wrapper. This version is coconut flavored, filled with dulce de leche and covered in their famous milk chocolate. A true delight.

What is an Alfajor?

Alfajores are sweet snacks made by stacking two or sometimes more round cookies with different sweet fillings between them. The filling is usually dulce de leche, although there are a lot of variations. They can be covered with powder sugar (the traditional ones), glazed sugar (Santafesinos or "de nieve"), grated coconut or chocolate. Argentina is today the world's largest consumer of alfajores, both in total numbers and in per capita calculations, being the most common snack for schoolchildren and adults.

A traditional alfajor that won't let you down. Highly regarded among Argentinians, perhaps deserves more recognition abroad.
