Chocolates Del Turista
Hidden GemSan Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro
Family-run Argentine chocolatier tracing its authentic Patagonian flavor back to 1964, blending Italian heritage with local craft. Its more than 20 branches sell chocolate bars, alfajores, and regional specialties across Patagonia.
Best for Patagonian chocolate bars and alfajores
Chocolates Delturista describes itself as an Argentine family business with Italian roots, tracing its 'authentic Patagonian flavor' back to 1964 and now operating more than 20 branches across Argentine Patagonia. The company frames its 60-year history around continuing an artisanal chocolate-making tradition rooted in the region rather than mass confectionery production.
The current product range spans beyond plain chocolate bars: assorted chocolate boxes, alfajores and conitos, chocodrinks (chocolate powders and mixes), regional specialty items, and a frozen dessert line including ice cream, sold under certifications the company lists including gluten-free options. A dedicated online store, alongside the network of Patagonian branches, ships the chocolate nationally within Argentina.
The brand's newest line pairs its base chocolate with pistachio, almonds, hazelnuts, and forest fruits in bar form, an extension the company positions as bringing its Patagonian identity into more contemporary flavor combinations while keeping the family-recipe throughline intact.

Visit official site ↗Puerto Madryn / Argentina

Best for Whale-tail-shaped colitas de ballena chocolates filled with dulce de leche
Julia Chocolates runs from Av Gales 32 in Puerto Madryn, a Patagonian coastal city known for whale-watching tourism, and the shop's signature product plays directly to that identity: colitas de ballena, whale-tail-shaped chocolates filled with dulce de leche, sold in milk, white and semi-dark chocolate versions. Alongside that namesake item, the shop makes an oversized alfajor line explicitly built "para compartir" (to share), in flavors ranging from classic dulce de leche and chocolate to white chocolate with grapefruit and Nutella, a Moroccan-style version, and coconut with dulce de leche - a wider flavor spread than the traditional Argentine alfajor typically carries. The catalog also includes chocolate animal figures, pralines and truffle multi-packs, and a Torta Galesa (Welsh cake), a nod to the Welsh settlement history of the wider Chubut province where Puerto Madryn sits. Seasonal gift combos like "Temporada de Ballenas" (Whale Season) tie directly into the region's migrating southern right whales, the area's main tourist draw, timing product marketing to when visitors are actually in town. Orders go out through the shop's own online store for local delivery or in-store pickup, with payment by bank transfer or Mercado Pago, Argentina's dominant digital payment platform.

Hidden GemTrelew / Argentina
Memorable bakes torta galesa (since 1996) and alfajores to a six-generation Welsh family recipe from Chubut's 1865 Mimosa settlers, from its Trelew flagship plus Puerto Madryn and Buenos Aires shops, alongside chocolates and jams.
Best for Torta galesa and alfajores made to a six-generation Welsh family recipe
Memorable traces its recipes back six generations, to the Welsh colonists who settled Chubut province after arriving aboard the Mimosa in 1865 — the ship that founded the Welsh settlement in Argentine Patagonia. The bakery's flagship sits at Soberanía Nacional 198 in Trelew, with a second Chubut location in Puerto Madryn and a newer outpost in Buenos Aires' Palermo neighborhood, on Malabia 1325, framed by the brand as "a pedacito de Patagonia" — a little piece of Patagonia — brought to the capital. Alongside its alfajores, which the company says were voted Argentina's best artisanal alfajor by roughly 30,000 people, Memorable has made torta galesa since 1996: a dense, dark Welsh fruit cake built from walnuts, raisins, macerated fruit, spirits and spices, distinct from a standard sponge cake and specific to the Welsh-Patagonian baking tradition rather than generic Argentine repostería. The shop rounds out its shelves with chocolates, jams and tea, and ships nationwide with same-day dispatch plus an international e-commerce option for customers outside Argentina. The throughline across three locations and more than a century of family recipes is the same: a business built specifically around Welsh-Patagonian heritage baking.
