An alfajor or alajú (, plural alfajores) is a traditional confection. Originally from present-day Spain, it is found now in Argentina, Bolivia, Southern Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Southern France, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
The alfajor was born in Iberia during the rule of al-Andalus. The Spanish alfajor is produced in the form of a small cylinder and is sold either individually or in boxes containing several pieces.
