Alfajor

Cultural Context

Alfajores are a beloved treat in Argentina, with roots tracing back to Moorish Spain. Traditionally filled with dulce de leche and coated in powdered sugar or chocolate, they are a staple in Argentine culture, often enjoyed during holidays and celebrations. Today, alfajores have gained popularity beyond Argentina, with various regional adaptations appearing throughout Latin America and even in international markets.
