Traditionally, Argentines are known to have the best dulce de leche and Freddo is specialized in ice creams of this flavor. Options range from pure dulce de leche ice cream, with brownie, with flakes, with pieces of Vauquita dulce de leche, not to mention that there is an option that harmonizes with marsala wine. In addition to this classic flavor, the highlight goes to Freddo because it offers more than 30 ice cream flavors 100% handcrafted. Calories are the problem? There are also light and gluten free ice creams. If you want to prove these delicacies, just go to JK Iguatemi Shopping Mall, in the Southern area of the city.
