THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

Our empanadas are raw pastries with ready-to-eat filling.

Your job? Just cook the pastry until it’s golden and crisp!

Depending on Logistics and season, you may receive your empanadas Frozen or Chilled

Raw Frozen – straight from the freezer, for long storage.
Raw Chilled – keep refrigerated and cook within a few days.
