Venezuelan Cookie Pack - 4 Samba Fresa, 4 Susy, 2 Pirucream

This is the pack with strawberry in it. Samba Fresa is a strawberry cream wafer under a chocolate shell, and it's what separates this box from the coconut and chocolate packs. Alongside it: Susy, and two sleeves of Pirucream.

What you get

• 4 Samba Fresa, 32 g each (1.13 oz), strawberry cream wafer covered in chocolate, 12% cocoa butter
• 4 Susy, 50 g each (1.76 oz), vanilla wafer with chocolate cream, 8% cocoa powder
• 2 Pirucream, 66 g each (2.33 oz), sleeves of rolled wafers filled with chocolate and hazelnut
• 460 g total (1.01 lb), every piece individually wrapped

Why people order it

• Samba Fresa is the one people forget they miss. Chocolate on the outside, strawberry cream on the inside. There's nothing quite like it on a US shelf.
• Three different structures, not three flavors of the same cookie. A coated bar, a flat wafer sandwich and a rolled tube.
• The pink one wins with kids. Samba Fresa is the piece that goes first at a birthday table.
• It fits a smaller order. 460 g is a gift-sized pack rather than a restock.

Shipping

Free US shipping on orders $20+. Ships from Miami, and delivery time depends on the carrier. In warm months the chocolate coating on the Samba can soften in transit.

Frequently asked questions

What is Samba Fresa?

Samba Fresa is a Venezuelan wafer bar from Nestlé Venezuela: a crisp wafer with strawberry flavored cream inside, coated in Savoy chocolate. The standard bar is 32 g. Nestlé Venezuela also makes Samba in chocolate and hazelnut versions; the strawberry one is the best known.

Is Samba Fresa suitable for vegetarians?

The strawberry filling is colored with carmine red, which is made from cochineal insects, so strict vegetarians and vegans usually skip it. The chocolate Samba is colored differently, and the ingredient list on each wrapper is the place to confirm.

Which pack should I get if I don't want strawberry?

Our Cocosette, Susy and Pirucream pack swaps the Samba Fresa for four Cocosette coconut wafers and comes in slightly heavier at 532 g. Same Susy, same Pirucream sleeves.

How long do these Venezuelan cookies stay fresh?

Go by the date on each wrapper. Wafers lose their crunch to humidity before they lose their flavor, so keep them sealed and in a dry place rather than in the fridge.
