In many countries<\/strong> Are consumed caramel cookies<\/strong>; however, the features of this product vary by region. The term, therefore, can refer to a particular food in one nation and a very different one in a different place.<\/p>\n

Before proceeding with the various meanings, it is interesting to analyze the etymology<\/strong> of the term. Alfajor comes from Hispanic Arabic fa\u0161\u00far<\/em>, in turn derived from the Persian af\u0161or<\/em> (which can be translated as \"juice\"<\/strong>). The Persian word, for its part, has its origin in the pelvis af\u0161urdan<\/em> (translatable as \"squeeze\"<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\"Sweet\"<\/p>\n

It is possible to find numerous types of alfajores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The alfajor in the Spanish territory<\/h2>\n

In the bakery of Spain<\/strong>, the alfajor is made with honey<\/strong>, walnuts<\/strong> Y almond paste<\/strong>. It is a sweet that can have a cylindrical shape or that has a filling between two wafers<\/strong> made with wheat flour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alfajores are characteristic of Andalusia<\/strong> and are usually consumed in the Christmas season<\/strong>. According to historians, the alfajor was born in the gastronomy<\/strong> from Al Andalus<\/strong>, settled in Spain<\/strong> and later it reached the American continent with the voyages of the conquerors.<\/p>\n

It is important to mention that, even in the set of what is known as Andalusian alfajor<\/strong>, there are multiple versions. When they are prepared at home level, in addition, each family usually has its own prescription<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The concept in Latin America<\/h2>\n

The Latin American alfajor<\/strong> it is quite different from Spanish. In fact, it presents differences according to the country<\/strong> and even according to the regions of each nation.<\/p>\n

At a general level, it is about two round cookies<\/strong> that are united by a stuffed<\/strong>. Among the most popular fillings are caramel sauce<\/strong>, the chocolate mousse<\/strong> and the quince jelly<\/strong>. As for the cookies or tapas of the alfajor, they can be covered with chocolate<\/strong>, powdered sugar<\/strong> or Meringue<\/strong>, among other options.<\/p>\n

\"Candy\"<\/p>\n

Alfajores are pastry products that can be made in an artisanal or industrial way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There are artisan alfajores and those of industrial elaboration. On Argentina<\/strong>, the alfajores that are produced in the Atlantic Coast<\/strong> Buenos Aires, from the hand of trademarks<\/strong> well known as Balcarce<\/strong> Y Havanna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Continuing with the Argentine case, alfajores are sold in all supermarkets<\/strong> Y kiosks<\/strong> from the country. They are usually offered individually (wrapped in plastic) or in packages of six or twelve units.<\/p>\n

The triple gingerbread<\/h2>\n

Although the traditional alfajor consists of two tapas, in recent years the triple alfajores<\/strong>. As its name implies, in this case the product<\/strong> It has three cookies, all joined by layers of filling.<\/p>\n

In this way, a triple alfajor can consist of three cookies baked with dulce de leche between half<\/strong> of every one of them. In turn, the entire alfajor can be dipped in chocolate, covering both the bottom and top covers as well as the sides.<\/p>\n

With cornstarch tapas<\/h2>\n

Among the types of alfajor we can also name the cornstarch alfajor<\/strong>. Their caps are made with starch<\/strong> corn<\/strong> and they are generally filled with dulce de leche.<\/p>\n

One of the peculiarities of cornstarch alfajores is that they do not usually have coverage<\/strong>: they only have grated coconut<\/strong> on the sides of the filling.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
