Nestlé has confirmed the return of the iconic Buitoni (formerly La Cocinera) wafers to Spanish supermarkets, just for the Christmas season. Thus, the empanadilla crisis comes to an end, as it has been popularly coined to refer to the period of time in recent months in which these had disappeared from the exhibitors. Starting this week, consumers will be able to find this product in the usual points of sale, responding to its high demand during this time of year. According to the company, the reintroduction of this item has been possible thanks to obtaining superior quality flour, which meets the required standards.
The factory in Penilla de Cayón, Cantabria, has resumed production of the famous wafers after ensuring the supply of flour with the necessary characteristics. According to André Moura, Culinary Director of Nestlé Spain, this return responds to the brand’s “commitment to offering high-quality products.”
In turn, Moura highlights that obtaining the specific flour used in their manufacture “has involved a meticulous process, which is carried out in order to maintain the characteristics and flavor that have always characterized them.”
The first batches have already begun to be distributed in supermarkets and the availability of the merchandise will be progressively expanded over the coming weeks. The company hopes to satisfy the request of consumers looking for this key element for their holiday recipes.
Traditional Buitoni wafers, known for their thin, flaky and easy-to-handle dough, return in their original format. This preparation is ideal for preparing both sweet and savory dumplings. Adding to the empanadilla fever that is taking over establishments, the brand will also continue to offer its new line of Argentine-style dough, which is differentiated by being thicker and with greater prominence in texture and flavor.
The recurring complaint of many users, expressed through social networks, had long reflected a common point: the quality of the product was no longer what it was before. Its texture and consistency seemed not to meet the current demands of consumers, who were looking for better performance in the preparation of their culinary creations.
Therefore, after a period of absence, the reappearance of Buitoni wafers has been well received by customers and distributors. On social networks and forums specialized in cooking, there are already positive comments about the return of a product that many considered essential. On the other hand, it could be helpful for retailers, as the return of this item to their shelves could boost sales during the holiday season.
The announcement of its return has generated enthusiasm among users, especially those who consider this product essential for their preparations. The versatility and quality of wafers make them an essential ingredient for making dishes ranging from typical empanadas to more innovative creations.
For empanadilleros, in addition to the flavor, these sheets of dough have an emotional and cultural value, they are the protagonists of common recipes and menus during these festive times.
Empanadillas, an iconic dish of Spanish gastronomy, stand out for their versatility, being prepared both in homes and in restaurants. This feature highlights the importance of relaunching such a highly demanded product, especially in traditional and modern recipes.
