No visit to Argentina is complete without tasting an empanada, the beloved pastry that holds a special place in the hearts and those across the country. At Estancia Los Potreros, we serve our own version of this delicious treat, lovingly made in our kitchen using family recipes passed down through generations.
Empanadas are small, savory pastry typically filled with spiced beef, onions, olives, and hard-boiled egg—though every region, and every cook, has their own take. In Córdoba, you'll often find them with a touch of sweetness, while in the north, expect bold, smoky spices. Some are baked to golden perfection; others are fried for a crispy finish.
At the estancia, our empanadas are a guest favourite, whether shared around the fire with a glass of local Rose Malbec or served as part of a relaxed lunch.
So, next time you're with us, pull up a chair, grab an empanada, and taste a little piece of tradition.
