Approximately 5cm in diameter and 2.5cm tall. Each alfajor can weigh 30g-50g (depending on flavour).

All our alfajores are packaged in premium glossy white gift boxes, available in sets of 12 or 24. Pictures of our gift boxes can be seen on our products page!

'La Gordita Alfajores' is a council approved and registered home based business located in Merrylands.

To maintain freshness and flavor, store alfajores in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting.

Consume them within 5-7 days of purchase. If you’d like to savor them a little longer, they can be kept in the fridge for up to two weeks or frozen for up to three months, just allow them to come to room temperature before serving.

As our alfajores are handcrafted, you may occasionally notice faint white streaks on the surface of the chocolate. This is known as chocolate bloom.

Bloom occurs when either fat or sugar rises to the surface due to changes in temperature or humidity. While it may slightly affect the appearance, it is entirely harmless and does not impact the taste or quality of the product.

As a dedicated and small business, we’re pleased to offer pre-order services for local delivery or pickup at our Merrylands location on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 9 AM and 11 AM. We kindly ask for a minimum of 2 days' notice.

If you are unable to select your preferred date, it means the date is currently unavailable due to a blockout period.

Please note that pre-orders are not yet available for Monday through Thursday, but we look forward to serving you on the weekends!
