About Medialuna manteca
Medialuna Manteca is a traditional Argentine pastry similar to a croissant, enjoyed across Argentina and neighboring countries. Its name, translating to "half-moon butter," reflects its crescent shape and buttery richness. Made with flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and generous amounts of butter, it boasts a tender, flaky texture and slight sweetness. Typically served for breakfast or as a snack alongside coffee or mate, it holds a cherished place in Argentine cuisine. While delicious, its high butter and sugar content contribute to elevated levels of saturated fat and calories, making it an indulgent rather than a health-conscious choice. On the positive side, its smaller portion size compared to many pastries can help moderate consumption. It embodies the balance of craftsmanship and comfort in traditional baking, offering a moment of cultural connection and enjoyment when consumed in moderation.
