Argentine candy you can’t find abroad and where to buy it online

Argentine Alfajores: a classic with no substitute

Argentine alfajores are, without question, one of the hardest sweets to find outside Argentina. Unlike typical cookies or sandwich cakes, alfajores have a very distinctive identity: soft cookie layers, generous fillings, and coatings that range from chocolate to sugar glaze. Among the most sought-after brands by people living abroad are Jorgito, Capitán del Espacio, Milka, Terrabusi, as well as the iconic Havanna and Cachafaz.
And not all alfajores are the same. While the most popular filling is dulce de leche, there are also varieties filled with chocolate mousse, quince paste, red fruits, and special combinations that are rarely available outside Argentina.
