La Casa ALFAJORES

Our Story

We specialise in handcrafted alfajores and others sweet delights filled with dulce de leche, a creamy caramel confection made from milk and sugar and with the mission to introduce our traditional Argentinian Alfajores to you

Our products are made in Wellington, New Zealand in small batches with love and dedication since March 2015. We use an authentic Argentine recipe and all the ingredients except for the chocolate sourced locally. No additives and/or preservatives are used.


ALFAJORES DE CHOCOLATE (Marplatense style) consist in two delicate cocoa biscuits (cake-like cookies) sandwiched together by a layer of dulce de leche, a creamy caramel confection made from milk and sugar and hand dipped entirely in dark or white chocolate. The dough is made with European style butter, fresh eggs with hints of fresh orange and a touch of rum as a background flavour. They also contain wheat and flavoured with honey.

ALFAJORES DE MAIZENA
“Maizena” is a traditional brand of cornstarch and a household name in Argentina. Maizena--corn starch--is used along with flour to give the biscuits a texture that is lighter and softer than a typical shortbread cookie. Two of these biscuits are sandwiched with dulce de leche filling and rolled in coconut.That lightness still captures the biscuit's buttery flavour, and together with dulce de leche, they will melt in your mouth.
