Alfajores are short-bread sandwich cookies filled with dulce de leche. Alfajores have their origins in the Middle East. The Spaniards acquired their alfajor habit from the Moors, and brought it to South America, where alfajores have become an institution. There are many variations on the standard – nuts, fruits, and chocolate are popular additions.
Dulce de Leche is a sweet, delicious caramel spread. Artisan tradition and modern technology results in an exceptionally flavorful product that is smoother and creamier then other spreads, which can be eaten alone or spread on bread like butter. It is also ideal for filling crepes or as a topping for waffles, fruit or ice cream.

Early South American tribes had discovered the wild yerba mate plant and considered the mate tea “the drink of the gods.” Yerba Mate, which translates to “gourd herb,” referring to the standard way of drinking the beverage. The practice is best accompanied by a mate (or dried gourd), and a bombilla, (a special straw for drinking that filters out the tea leaves). Mate contains a unique combination of caffeine (in coffee), theophylline (in tea), and theobromine (in chocolate) which is responsible for refreshing your mind, uplifting your mood, and remaining alert without any jitters or crashes.
