Medialunas
De manteca · De grasa
Golden, glossy crescents brushed with syrup. Smaller and sweeter than a croissant and, we'd argue, better.
Nuestra historia
Argentum began in Córdoba, Argentina, in a kitchen where medialunas came out of the oven before sunrise and the mate was always within reach. We brought those recipes, that craft, and that warmth to the brick streets of Pioneer Square.
Every layer of dough is laminated by hand, the way our family has always done it. This isn't fusion. It's the real thing, simply baked a little closer to the Sound.
Nuestro oficio
Three generations of Argentine baking, done the slow way. No shortcuts, no mixes, no compromises.
Every batch of facturas starts the night before. The dough is folded, buttered and rested in stages, then shaped one by one and baked at dawn. That is where the shine, the layers and the pull-apart softness come from.
Not caramel. Not a substitute. Slow-cooked dulce de leche runs through our cakes, alfajores and pastries in generous layers, the way it should. One look at the cut tells you everything.
Paper-thin crustless bread, ham, cheese, egg, tomato. In Argentina no birthday, office meeting or family visit happens without them. We make ours fresh daily, and Seattle is about to understand why.
