What Is Dulce de Leche? Discover Argentina’s Sweetest Gift — Now in the Baltics

Rich, creamy, and irresistibly smooth — dulce de leche is Argentina’s most beloved milk caramel spread, and it’s finally here in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.


A Taste of Argentina’s Culinary Heart

Dulce de leche (literally “sweet milk” in Spanish) is a luxurious milk caramel made by slowly heating milk and sugar until it transforms into a thick, golden brown delight. Though many Latin American countries enjoy their own versions, Argentina’s dulce de leche holds a special place in culinary culture, and few brands are as iconic as Havanna.



Havanna is famous around the world for its artisan alfajores, all generously filled with dulce de leche. Their spreadable jar brings the same authentic flavor into your home, made with high-quality ingredients and decades of tradition.
