Chocolinas
The iconic Argentine chocolate cookie for chocotorta
Chocolinas is one of Argentina's most iconic cookie brands, established in 1963. The brand produces round chocolate cookies that have become the essential ingredient for making chocotorta, Argentina's beloved no-bake chocolate cake. Part of Bagley (now under Arcor), Chocolinas has maintained its distinctive recipe and flavor profile for over six decades. The cookies feature a rich chocolate taste with a slightly crumbly texture that softens perfectly when layered with dulce de leche and cream cheese in the traditional chocotorta preparation. Chocolinas transcends being merely a cookie brand; it is a cultural institution in Argentine cuisine.
Chocolinas was introduced in 1963 by Bagley, one of Argentina's historic biscuit manufacturers. The brand quickly became a household name thanks to its distinctive round chocolate cookies with their unmistakable flavor. The cookies gained legendary status when they became the foundation ingredient for chocotorta, an Argentine dessert that layers Chocolinas cookies soaked in chocolate milk with a filling of dulce de leche mixed with cream cheese. This dessert became so popular that it is now considered one of Argentina's national desserts, and Chocolinas cookies are virtually synonymous with it. Under the Arcor umbrella following the Bagley acquisition, Chocolinas continues to be manufactured with the same recipe that made it famous. The brand has expanded to include variations while keeping its classic chocolate cookie as the core product.
