This perfect "double" gift box contains 12 large individually wrapped alfajores (3 dark chocolate, 3 white chocolate, 3 traditional w/ coconut, 3 guava).

Alfajores are traditional South American pastries made with two crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth cookies embracing a luscious dollop of creamy dulce de leche caramel. In Argentina, alfajores are usually enjoyed with family and friends gathered around the table sharing yerba mate tea (or coffee) and chatting about the day's events. They are a perfect compliment to a morning coffee or tea, as an afternoon snack or a stand-alone dessert. We invite you to taste and share the love at any hour of the day!

Lucila grew up in the Argentine countryside, in a small town several hours north of Buenos Aires. Like nearly every Argentine child, Lucila loved eating alfajores and couldn’t get enough of these delicious treats. Once she moved to Chicago, Lucila’s fond memories of the mouth-watering aroma of alfajores swirling through her childhood home inspired her to start baking for her children. And their friends. And neighbors. And neighbors’ friends. The word spread, the love grew, and a pastry business blossomed. After several years of hard work and dedication, Lucila is delighted to share her artisanal, hand-crafted alfajores with you so that you can create your own sweet memories.

Taste the love that goes into every bite. It’s a hug in cookie form straight from Lucila to you!
