Product Description

san_ognacio_logo.jpgA beloved brand from Rosario in the heart of Argentina's dairy country. San Ignacio dulce de leche has a sugary flavor with a hint of vanilla and has a darker tint. San Ignacio dulce de leche 450g is packaged in a glass jar.

San Ignacio has been producing dulce de leche since the 1930s. This brand of dulce de leche is second to none.

Dulce leche literally translates as “sweetness of milk.” It’s said that dulce de leche was first created in Argentina in 1829. Caramel is a North American creation that according to some, dates back to the earliest settlers in the 17th century.  Women would heat sugar and water to create hard, sweet candies.  Around 1850, milk and other fattier substances were added.

You’ll find dulce de leche in virtually every Argentine home, and it has a variety of uses.  It is used in a variety of desserts such as alfajores, panqueques con dulce de leche (crepes with dulce de leche), and flan with dulce de leche.  It’s also used as a spread on toast and medialunas (sweet crescent rolls).

The differences in taste and texture are remarkable between Argentine dulce de leche and North American caramel.  Argentine dulce de leche has a very rich, sweet milky flavor.  It is sweet, but it doesn’t taste sugary since it has a lot of milk in it.  It has a creamy, smooth texture, almost like a spreadable fudge.  On the other hand, caramel has more of a sweet, sugary taste to it, which makes sense since its primary ingredient is sugar.
