Punta Ballena Clásico Nieve Alfajor

Punta Ballena is a hallmark brand of Uruguayan confectionery, widely recognized for its production of alfajores, a traditional South American snack. The product shown, the 'Clásico Nieve' alfajor, consists of soft cookies filled with dulce de leche and finished with a white sugar-based coating (nieve).

The brand is owned and manufactured by LESTONSUR S.A., a family-founded company established in 1983 in Montevideo, Uruguay. While the brand is deeply rooted in its country of origin, it has a significant export presence in regional markets like Brazil and international markets including Spain. In Spain, the product is distributed by specialized importers, with legal labeling often referencing local representatives in Madrid to comply with EU regulations. The ultimate ownership remains with the original Uruguayan company, LESTONSUR S.A., which continues to operate as an independent entity specializing in traditional baked sweets.
