What Is Dulce De Leche?
If you've never tasted Dulce De Leche, you're in for a treat. Translated literally as "sweet of milk" in Spanish, this rich, golden milk caramel spread has been a staple of South American kitchens for centuries. Velvety, indulgent, and deeply satisfying, it's the kind of ingredient that transforms an ordinary slice of toast into something truly special.
At Fakhri Shop, we're proud to bring you the authentic Havanna Dulce De Leche Milk Caramel Spread (1kg) — one of Argentina's most beloved exports — delivered straight to your door here in the UK.
How Is Dulce De Leche Made?
Traditional Dulce De Leche is made using just two simple ingredients: whole cow's milk and sugar. The mixture is slowly heated and stirred over a long period — often several hours — until the natural sugars caramelise and the liquid reduces into a thick, glossy, amber-coloured spread.
This slow-cooking process, known as the Maillard reaction, is what gives Dulce De Leche its distinctive deep caramel flavour and smooth, creamy texture. Unlike regular caramel, which is made from sugar alone, Dulce De Leche retains the richness of milk, giving it a more complex, rounded sweetness.
The Havanna brand, founded in Mar del Plata, Argentina in 1948, has perfected this traditional recipe over decades. Their Dulce De Leche is crafted using high-quality Argentinian milk, with no artificial colours or flavours — just pure, authentic caramel goodness.
How Is It Sourced?
Argentina is one of the world's leading producers of dairy, thanks to its vast, fertile Pampas grasslands where cattle graze freely on natural pasture. This results in exceptionally rich, high-quality milk — the perfect foundation for a premium Dulce De Leche.
Havanna sources its milk from trusted Argentinian dairy farms, ensuring consistent quality and flavour in every jar. The product is then carefully manufactured, sealed, and prepared for export to international markets — including the UK.
