What is an alfajor?

An alfajor is a South American sandwich cookie filled with dulce de leche and typically coated in chocolate. With a rich history that can be traced back more than 500 years to origins in Moorish Spain, the alfajor has seen countless variations and developed into a beloved cultural fixture.

In Spanish, the plural of alfajor is pronounced al-fa-hor-ays. But you don’t need to be a Spanish speaker to prefer multiple alfajores to a single alfajor!

When and where do you eat alfajores?

Alfajores are particularly popular at weddings and other festive events, whether as a dessert centerpiece or as the perfect party favor. They make wonderful gifts for every kind of holiday and special occasion. They can be eaten casually as a snack or after-dinner treat, or shared with friends over a cup of coffee. Or to put it another way—alfajores can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere, at any time.

In particular, customers have told us they love pair alfajores with a cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, Baileys, whisky—or even some combination thereof! When enjoyed at a special event such as a wedding, an alfajor goes perfectly with a glass of champagne or wine.
