Nestlé La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk in a Squeeze Bottle (450g)

Sweetened Condensed Milk (Leche Condensada) in modern, practical packaging. This is the original recipe for Leche Condensada, which has been a popular cooking and dessert ingredient in Spain and Latin America for decades.

Packaging and Handling:

• Format: Plastic topping or squeeze bottle.

• Quantity: Typically 450 g net weight.

• Advantage: The bottle is equipped with a dosing cap (drip-free cap). This allows for clean, precise, and easy dispensing – ideal for decorating desserts or sweetening beverages directly at the table.

Characteristics:

• Taste: Very sweet and intensely milky.

• Consistency: Thick and syrupy-creamy, but fluid enough for dispensing from the bottle.

• Color: Light, slightly yellowish cream-white.

Ingredients (Main Components): La Lechera's classic sweetened condensed milk has a very short ingredient list:

• Milk

• Sugar

• Lactose

It typically contains about 8-9% milk fat and a high sugar content (which also serves as a preservative).

Usage:

Nestlé La Lechera's Leche Condensada is extremely versatile and a must-have in many kitchens:

• Coffee: Essential for Spanish and Canarian coffee specialties such as Café Bombón (espresso on a layer of condensed milk).

• Dessert Ingredient: Basis for many cakes, creams, puddings (e.g., Flan) or traditional Latin American desserts (Tres Leches Cake).

• Topping: For sweetening and refining muesli, fruits, yogurt, or as a glaze for cakes.

• Spread: As a simple, sweet topping.

Storage: After opening, the bottle should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days.
