Uruguayan delicacies you can’t miss: discover 4 typical products with worldwide shipping

Uruguay is a country that’s very rich in culture and traditions. From its delicious dulce de leche to the iconic mate drink, there are plenty of products that reflect the country’s identity. Here are four of these:

1. Mate: the famous South American drink that’s spreading across the world

Mate is much more than a simple infusion, it's a symbol of friendship since it allows unique moments with friends and family in the famous ''mate rounds''. Uruguayans take their mate along with them wherever they go, even if it's to work.

2. Bizcochos: the perfect accompaniment for mate

These are crispy and fluffy bread rolls that can be sweet or salty and are a popular choice to have with mate or coffee during tea time in Uruguay.

3. Alfajores: Uruguay's most delicious treat

Alfajores can be found in any kiosk or supermarket in the country and are a very common treat on social gatherings such as birthdays. They consist of two soft and fluffy cookies that can have various fillings (dulce de leche, chocolate mousse, fruit, or others) and are covered in chocolate (milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate) or powdered sugar.

4. Dulce de Leche: the Uruguayan treasure all tourists are after

Dulce de leche is Uruguay's most iconic delicacy. With its creamy texture and sweet caramelized flavor, it's a true delight that can be enjoyed alone, spread on toast, as a filling on pancakes or cakes, and as an accompaniment to other desserts such as flans.
