The International Alfajor Fair kicked off on Friday at the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay (LATU) in the capital Montevideo and will run until June 15.

Alfajor, a popular Latin American sweet, typically consists of a layer of dulce de leche (caramelized milk spread) sandwiched between two cookies and is coated in chocolate for a crumbly texture. It has developed distinct local variations and is especially beloved in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Chile. (Photo by Nicolas Celaya/Xinhua)
