Alfajor de Chocolate Negro by Dulce de Leche & Co. is a traditional Argentine confection made from two soft handcrafted cookies. The cookies enclose a generous layer of the company’s dulce de leche. A thin coating of dark chocolate covers the entire alfajor and forms a firm outer shell. Its delicate thickness allows the textures of the cookies and filling to remain prominent.
The dark chocolate contributes pronounced cocoa notes and a mild bitterness. These characteristics balance the sweetness and rich dairy flavor of the dulce de leche. The cookies provide a soft and tender texture that contrasts with the chocolate coating. Each bite combines firm, creamy and crumbly elements.
It represents a refined interpretation of the classic Argentine alfajor.
