A Cloud of Tradition.
Experience the most iconic silhouette in Argentinian pastry!
Often imitated but never replicated, our Heritage Classic is a masterclass in delicate textures. Featuring the traditional Cornflour & Coconut Alfajores (Maicena), these are the ones designed to dissolve the moment they touch your palate!
The Design Elements:
The Foundation: A specialised cornstarch-to-butter ratio creates an incredibly light, "powdery" crumb—the hallmark of a true Alfajor de Maicena.
The Dimension: Handcrafted in our signature 4cm "Boutique" size. We have curated this specific size to ensure the perfect structural balance and that legendary "melt-in-your-mouth" experience.
The Core: A generous, architectural centre of authentic 'Vacalin' Dulce de Leche (the gold standard of Argentina) or our rich Peanut Butter.
The Texture: Each unit is meticulously hand-rolled in a "snowy" blanket of fine shredded coconut, adding a subtle tropical finish to the creamy centre.
The Finishing: Choose your preferred aesthetic for this classic treat. The Signature: Hand-rolled in fine shredded coconut and finished with a delicate dusting of icing sugar for the traditional look. The Naked-Top: Hand-rolled in fine shredded coconut only, offering a clean, natural finish for those who prefer a less sweet profile.
“At Sweetargentos, we don't just bake; we honour. This is the authentic taste of an Argentinian childhood, elevated for the modern Christchurch palate.”
