History of dulce de leche

Typical, autochthonous and a true Argentine symbol. Dulce de leche was born on June 24, 1829 in the La Caledonia ranch, where the Cañuelas Pact was signed between Juan Manuel de Rosas and the commander of the unitary army, Juan Lavalle. The story goes that a maid was preparing a hot sugary milk with which they drank mates at that time. When Lavalle arrived, tired from the journey, he lay down on the cot where Rosas usually rested. Seeing the enemy chief, the woman ran to look for the guard, but she forgot the milk in the fire. When he returned, the miracle had happened; its color changed and thickened, giving casual origin to the traditional dulce de leche.
