This is the Surprise Negro by Punta Ballena. We have two biscuits separated by two layers of dulce de leche and 1 layer of meringue all covered in dark chocolate. The black and white wrapping is quite snappy and the picture is pretty substantial. The only question I have is about the "nuevo" we have in the top right corner. How long has this been in the market?
Does the look of it match up with the wrapping?
No. This is a tall beast of an alfajor and looks like it's a triple biscuit creation more than anything (not that being bigger than the picture suggested is a bad thing). It's well covered with only a few gaps.
The most important bit. The Taste?
Pretty good. Although the meringue isn't fresh (which is to be expected in something packaged) the taste is well set up with the balance of chocolate with the rest being pretty much even. The dulce de leche has a good strong flavour and the biscuit is soft without tasting stale. Only fault I have is that it is very crumbly. One bite and you're having to watch out not to drop anything on you
Overall:
No real complaints with this alfajor. The meringue helps this differentiate itself from a lot of the others available and the dark chocolate really helps make this what it is
A good 7/10.
I'm not a fan of meringue, so this one isn't at the top of my list.
