Alfajor Crocante de Coco by Dulce de Leche & Co. is the company’s signature interpretation of the traditional Argentine alfajor. It is made from two cocoa-flavored cookies surrounding a layer of dulce de leche. Crispy coconut is incorporated into the filling to provide an additional flavor and textural element. Its crunch contrasts with the soft cookies and the smooth consistency of the dulce de leche.
The entire alfajor is covered with a thin layer of dark chocolate. This coating contributes cocoa intensity and mild bitterness that balance the sweetness of the filling. Each bite combines firm, crunchy, soft and creamy textures.
The coconut also adds a distinctive aromatic note to the combination of chocolate and caramelized milk.
Producer
Dulce de Leche & Co. is an Argentine company specializing in dulce de leche and confections based on this traditional product. It was founded by Luis González and Matías Bruno in Buenos Aires in 2016.
The business initially focused on selecting and selling dulce de leche made by small producers from different parts of Argentina. In 2021, the company opened its own production facility and developed a range of products under the DDL&Co. label. Its assortment includes classic dulce de leche, alfajores, soft caramels, and other confections made with this ingredient.
The products are available through a network of specialized stores in Buenos Aires and the company’s official online shop. Some locations also offer tastings of different varieties of dulce de leche, highlighting differences in flavor, aroma, and texture.
Through this concept, the company presents dulce de leche as an important part of Argentina’s culinary tradition while bringing together products of different regional origins within a specialized selection.
