El Paragüitas Brevas Rellenas con Dulce de Leche – Brevas con Arequipe, 120 g

Product Overview

El Paragüitas Brevas Rellenas con Dulce de Leche is a Colombian confection made from brevas, or figs, combined with arequipe, the Colombian form of milk caramel or dulce de leche. The product associated with B006QAH9CA is identified as model 6401 and has a documented net weight of 120 grams, equivalent to approximately 4.23 ounces. Public distributor and manufacturer records identify the product as originating in Colombia.

The confection represents a packaged version of brevas con arequipe, a traditional Colombian dessert in which cooked figs are paired with or filled with dulce de leche. The combination contrasts the dense, fruit-based texture of the fig with the soft milk-caramel filling. Traditional preparations vary, but the commercial El Paragüitas version is specifically described as brevas rellenas de dulce con leche, or figs filled with milk caramel.

The product is ready to eat and does not require cooking or preparation. It is commonly consumed as a sweet snack or dessert and can also be served alongside Colombian-style fresh cheese. Because arequipe is a milk-based confection, consumers with milk allergies or dairy restrictions should review the current package ingredient and allergen statement before consumption.

Identification

Product Identifier Summary

Packaged foods can be distributed in several weights and regional configurations. Identifiers help distinguish the exact package from other El Paragüitas breva and arequipe products.

• Model Number: Model 6401 is associated with the 120-gram brevas con arequipe product record and is useful for catalog matching.
• MPN: Manufacturer part numbers can identify a specific packaged food configuration. A separate verified MPN beyond model 6401 was not established.
• UPC: UPC is a 12-digit retail barcode format. A sufficiently verified UPC for this exact 120-gram configuration was not established and is therefore omitted.
• EAN: EAN is an international barcode format within the GTIN system. No independently verified EAN is included.
• GTIN: GTIN provides standardized commercial identification for packaged goods. No exact GTIN is included without independent verification.
• ASIN: B006QAH9CA identifies the catalog record associated with this 120-gram El Paragüitas confection.
• ISBN: ISBN identifiers apply to books and certain publications and do not apply to packaged food.

Common Uses

Brevas con arequipe are consumed as a sweet food rather than as a cooking ingredient that requires further preparation. Traditional Colombian serving practices also pair the dessert with fresh cheese.

• Eating directly as a packaged dessert.
• Serving after a meal.
• Eating as a sweet snack.
• Serving with fresh cheese or queso blanco.
• Including in an assortment of Colombian sweets.
• Using as part of a dessert platter.

Maintenance & Care

Packaged figs and milk caramel should be protected from heat, contamination, and excessive moisture. Storage instructions printed on the physical package should take priority because formulations and packaging methods can change.

• Keep the package closed until ready to use.
• Store in a clean, dry location.
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Avoid excessive heat that can soften or alter the caramel filling.
• Use clean utensils or hands when removing portions from an opened package.
• Follow any refrigeration instructions printed on the package after opening.
• Observe the expiration or best-before date printed on the package.

Safety Information

Arequipe is traditionally a milk-based caramel, so the product should be treated as potentially containing dairy unless the current package states otherwise. Exact allergen information should be confirmed from the physical label before consumption by anyone with food allergies.

• Review the current ingredient and allergen statement before consumption.
• People with milk allergies should not assume the product is dairy-free.
• Do not consume the product if the package seal is damaged or shows evidence of spoilage.
• Keep packaged sweets stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Supervise young children as appropriate when eating dense or sticky confectionery foods.

Technical Specifications

About Brevas con Arequipe

Brevas con arequipe are part of Colombian dessert traditions. Brevas are figs, often cooked until softened, while arequipe is a milk-and-sugar caramel closely related to dulce de leche. Traditional preparations commonly place arequipe inside or over the cooked figs.

The dessert may also be served with fresh white cheese. The combination of fruit, caramel, and cheese appears in several Colombian dessert traditions, although cheese is not established as part of the packaged El Paragüitas product documented here.

Product History

Dulces El Paragüitas is a Colombian confectionery producer whose current range includes arequipe, guava sweets, milk-based confections, cookies, and brevas. The company’s current catalog continues to list a six-piece breva product described as figs filled with dulce de leche.

The filling is identified as dulce de leche or milk caramel. Consumers who must avoid milk should check the current ingredient and allergen statement on the package.

Is the product vegan?

A product containing conventional milk caramel is not compatible with a vegan diet. The current physical ingredient label should be checked for confirmation of the exact formulation.

Is the product vegetarian?

Milk-based arequipe can fit some lacto-vegetarian diets, but the full ingredient list should be reviewed because the exact formulation may contain additional ingredients.

Is it gluten-free?

A verified gluten-free certification or current package claim was not established. People who medically require gluten avoidance should check the current product label.

Does it contain peanuts or tree nuts?

No sufficiently verified current allergen statement was located for the exact package. Consumers with nut allergies should check the physical label before consumption.

Does it contain preservatives?

A complete verified ingredient statement was not available from sufficiently reliable public sources for this exact 120-gram configuration, so preservative content is not stated here.

How many figs are in the package?

The current El Paragüitas manufacturer catalog describes its breva product as six units. However, the exact B006QAH9CA export record does not provide enough independent information to guarantee the piece count for every historical 120-gram package, so net weight is the more reliable identifier.

How should the product be stored?

Keep it in a clean, dry location away from excessive heat and follow the storage directions printed on the package. Refrigeration requirements after opening should be determined from the current label.

Can the caramel soften in warm temperatures?

Yes. Milk caramel can become softer as temperature rises, so prolonged exposure to excessive heat can change the product’s texture.

They are related but not identical categories. Arequipe is generally made by slowly concentrating sweetened milk, giving it a characteristic dairy-based flavor and texture.

Is arequipe the same as dulce de leche?

Can the figs be cut before serving?

Yes. They can be portioned with a clean utensil if smaller servings are desired.

What is the difference between brevas con arequipe and plain preserved figs?

Brevas con arequipe add a milk-caramel component, while plain preserved figs consist primarily of the prepared fruit and syrup without the caramel filling.

Does the product have a conventional warranty?

Packaged foods generally do not use durable-goods warranties. Problems involving food quality or packaging are handled under the manufacturer’s consumer-service policies and applicable food-retail regulations.

Buying Considerations

The exact product should be distinguished from other El Paragüitas breva packages because public distribution records show more than one package weight. The 120-gram weight and model 6401 are the strongest verified identifiers for B006QAH9CA.

• Confirm a net weight of 120 grams when matching this exact configuration.
• Use model 6401 when comparing historical product records.
• Do not confuse the 120-gram package with the documented 150-gram variant.
• Review the package ingredient statement if milk or another allergen is a concern.
• Check the expiration or best-before date on the physical package.
• Inspect seals and packaging condition before consuming preserved or filled fruit products.
• Keep the product protected from excessive heat during storage.
• Do not rely on unverified third-party nutrition information when dietary calculations require precision.

Customer Feedback Summary

A sufficiently broad and reliable body of public customer feedback for this exact 120-gram B006QAH9CA configuration could not be verified. For that reason, this section does not assign a general customer consensus or claim recurring performance characteristics that may not be representative.

Public descriptions of the traditional dessert commonly emphasize the contrast between the fig and the sweet milk-caramel filling, but those descriptions concern brevas con arequipe as a food tradition rather than verified customer feedback about this exact packaged product.

Potential practical considerations can still be identified from the product type. The confection is sweet and dense, contains a milk-based caramel filling, and can soften when stored in warm conditions. These characteristics should not be interpreted as positive or negative customer-review findings.
