"The Crown Jewel of My Table"

"I first served Monina alfajores at my book club here in Savannah Quarters, and they were the talk of the afternoon. You can immediately tell they aren't mass-produced; that 'perfect imperfection' of the hand-piped dulce de leche and the delicate crumble of the cookie is true luxury. It’s more than a treat, it’s a sophisticated conversation piece that brings a touch of Buenos Aires to our Georgia afternoons."

Eleanor W., Savannah Quarters Resident

"A Cultural Bridge in Every Bite"

"Finding Monina was like discovering a hidden gem. Having traveled through South America, I was searching for that authentic flavor, and Monica’s family recipes delivered exactly that. There is a profound sense of history and warmth in these alfajores. They offer a moment of quiet reflection and nostalgia that you simply cannot find in a grocery store. Truly the gold standard of artisan baking in Savannah."

Julian P., Savannah Local

"The Gift That Leaves an Impression"

"I recently sent a custom box of Monina alfajores as a thank-you gift, and the feedback was incredible. In a world of generic gift baskets, Monina stands out because of its artisanal soul. You can feel the human touch in every edge and the passion for tradition in every flavor. It’s the perfect blend of Argentine heritage and Southern hospitality. They are now my go-to for whenever I want to show someone they are truly appreciated."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you may want to know about our alfajores, quality, storage, delivery, and special orders.

What makes Monina alfajores unique?

Every piece at Monina Artisan Bakes is a handcrafted work of art. Following my mother’s and grandmother’s recipes, we bake in small batches using premium ingredients like European butter and Belgian chocolate. Because our process is 100% manual, you may notice slight variations in shape. To us, this “Perfect Imperfection” is the hallmark of authentic craftsmanship and true luxury.

How should I store my alfajores?

To preserve the silky texture of the dulce de leche and the freshness of the cookie, we recommend keeping them in a cool, dry place. If you would like to extend their freshness, you can refrigerate them in an airtight container. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature about 20 minutes before enjoying them. This allows the chocolate to regain its luster and the filling its ideal creaminess.

Do you have allergy-friendly options?

Our products contain wheat (gluten), dairy, and eggs. In addition, while some flavors may not contain nuts, our artisan kitchen handles walnuts and almonds, so there is a risk of cross-contamination.

Legal Note: We operate as a Georgia Cottage Food Operation. Our products are made in a home kitchen that is not subject to routine state food safety inspections. We maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and personal care in every batch.

How do delivery and returns work?

We offer local delivery within the Savannah and Pooler area, with a special focus on Savannah Quarters. Because our bakes are handcrafted and perishable, we do not accept returns.
