Indulge yourself :), July 2, 2004
If you want to taste something different, and truly wonderful, buy this product. "Dulce de leche" is a typical Argentinian product, and one of my favorite temptations. In case you are not familiar with it, I must say that you are really losing something great...Dulce de leche is a dessert that can be eaten alone or as a topping (for example, on waffles, bread or ice cream). It is also used a lot in cakes and other pastries, and its savor is sweet. It is made by blending hot milk, sugar, and vanilla, and as a result has some nutritional value. However, the most important thing is that it is mouthwateringly delicious :) Even if this product is extraordinarily good, it is important to choose the right label, because a good one can be guarantee of excellence. In my opinion, "La Salamandra" is one of the few labels that allow you to be certain that what you are going to eat is not only tasty, but also made of superior quality raw ingredients. "La Salamandra" is very well-known in Argentina, but has also won some prizes in USA. For example, this product won the 2000 Fancy Food Show's Gold Trophy for spreads/sweet toppings. All in all, I advise you to indulge yourself and give "La Salamandra"'s dulce de leche a try. The price isn't overly high, so you don't have much to lose, and all to win :) Belen Alcat

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS..., January 18, 2005
This is a caramel flavored filling/topping that is very popular among people from Latin America. I grew up eating dulce the leche, as my parents were Cuban. My ex-husband is from Argentina, and he, too, grew up eating this mouth-watering, sweet dessert topping.
It is delicious with ice cream, with flan, and as pastry filling. I even know people who eat it as a spread on white bread. It is also delicious by itself, though one cannot eat all that much of it in one sitting as it is so sweet. When I discovered its availability on Amazon and saw that it was recommended by a fellow reviewer, I immediately bought three jars, even though the shipping was on the high side. Well, the actual product more than met my expectations, as it was absolutely delicious. I can certainly understand why it was the Gold Trophy winner in the spreads/sweet toppings category at the 2000 Fancy Food Show.
I am only sorry that I did not buy more than three jars of it, as I see that it is no longer available through Amazon, and I am plumb out of it. The good thing, however, is that I know how to make dulce de leche. I am, however, notoriously lazy about cooking. Maybe the fact that it is no longer available will galvanize me into whipping up a batch of this delicious taste treat. If not, I can only hope that it will become available.

Excellent ... but..., October 5, 2007
I am from Argentina, and have eaten Dulce Leche since almost birth in almost any imaginable way. Its excellent and this particular brand is excellent as well. Hence the 5 Stars
Only problem is this is NOT made by La Salamandra, but by a company called Andyson (little known in Argentina as they are export-only). As far as i know La Salamandra has not bought them, and they are in fact their competitors.
