Description

San Ignacio Dulce de Leche 450g case: authentic Latin caramel for food service

Quick Answer

San Ignacio Dulce de Leche ships as a 12-jar case, 450g per jar, total around 11.90 lbs. It's a gluten-free Latin caramel that works for dessert sauces, pastry fillings, ice cream toppings, and baking. We stock it out of Calgary and ship anywhere in Canada in 2 to 5 business days.

San Ignacio Dulce de Leche arrives in a 12-jar case, ready to go. The texture is smooth and the flavour is properly caramelized, which is the whole reason pastry chefs keep coming back to it. If you're running four dessert stations on a Saturday and the churro dip needs to taste the same on plate one as it does on plate eighty, this jar delivers that without any babysitting.

San Ignacio Dulce de Leche 450g / 11.90 lbs (12-jar case): an authentic Latin caramel for Canadian kitchens

This is a pro-grade dulce de leche. It spreads clean, pipes well, and tastes like the real thing rather than a sweet syrup pretending to be caramel. You can scoop it straight from the jar for plated desserts, fold it into a pastry cream, or bake it into cheesecakes without any extra prep. When the line is stacked and you're short on time, that last.

Stocked at ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary warehouse. We ship to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, mostly in 2 to 5 business days.

Chef's tip: If you want a softer flow for piping or drizzling, especially when the kitchen runs cold, warm the amount you need in a bain-marie or give it a few seconds in the microwave. It loosens just enough to pour clean without thinning out the flavour or texture.

Operator's Tip · Amani, Bulk & Wholesale Specialist

"I've watched our restaurant customers blow through these San Ignacio cases during holiday dessert rushes. It holds up in a bain-marie for hot work like churros or plate drizzling, and the consistency pipes cleanly into pastries without going runny. When someone's buying 12 jars at a time, they care about real caramel flavour, and that's the feedback we keep getting."

If you want authentic Latin caramel without the prep work of cooking it from scratch, San Ignacio is a solid pick. The texture holds whether you're spooning it onto ice cream or folding it into a pastry cream. A 12-jar case carries you through peak season and big catering runs, so you're not scrambling for stock when orders spike. See the rest of our food service range for other pro-grade ingredients.

Quality and specifications

Twelve 450g jars per case, roughly 11.90 lbs total. Made from milk and sugar, the texture is smooth, creamy, and spreadable, and it holds up across batches. Flavour is sweet, rich, and properly caramelized, with no burnt-sugar edge. It's also gluten-free, which helps when dietary restrictions show up on the ticket.

Professional applications

This jar gets used across the dessert menu. Plate it under tarts, fill alfajores, top sundaes, bake it into cheesecakes or brownies. It's also the dip you want next to a fresh batch of churros at a festival, and it folds into sweet crepe batter for brunch service without thinning out.

Storage and handling

Keep unopened jars in a cool, dry spot, your storeroom or dry pantry works fine. Once you crack a 450g jar, it goes straight into the fridge. Seal it tight to keep out contamination and hold the flavour. Standard dairy-handling rules apply.

Canadian sourcing

We stock this out of our Calgary warehouse, which lets us ship the 12-jar case to all 10 provinces and 3 territories without long lead times. Restaurants, caterers, and institutional kitchens count on us for steady supply on this one, and it moves through our inventory regularly.

Why is dulce de leche important?

Dulce de leche is important in culinary traditions, Latin American, for its rich cultural heritage and versatile flavour profile. For food service, it offers a distinct, comforting caramel note that chefs can use across a wide range of desserts and beverages. San Ignacio Dulce de Leche, with its authentic taste, allows operators to tap into this popular flavour, offering something familiar yet premium to their customers.

How to store dulce de leche in a can?

While this specific San Ignacio Dulce de Leche comes in a 450g jar rather than a can, the general storage principles for caramel spreads apply. Before opening, store the jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, like a pantry or storeroom, to maintain quality. Once a jar is opened, it should be refrigerated promptly and sealed tightly to preserve its freshness and prevent spoilage in a commercial kitchen.

How to use la lechera dulce de leche?

While the question specifically mentions La Lechera, the usage for San Ignacio Dulce de Leche is quite similar, focusing on its rich caramel flavour. You can incorporate San Ignacio Dulce de Leche into a wide range of dessert applications, from filling pastries and cakes to drizzling over ice cream or churros. It also works well as a base for milkshakes, lattes, or as a key ingredient in signature dessert specials in your restaurant or catering menu.

How to cook dulce de leche?

San Ignacio Dulce de Leche is a ready-to-use product, meaning it does not require cooking from scratch, unlike making it from sweetened condensed milk. For food service, this saves significant prep time. You can simply open a 450g jar and use it directly as a spread, topping, or ingredient in your recipes. If you need to thin it slightly for drizzling or mixing, gently warming it will achieve the desired consistency.

How to store San Ignacio Dulce de Leche / Dulce for maximum shelf life?

For maximum shelf life of San Ignacio Dulce de Leche, keep unopened 450g jars stored in a cool, dry place, like a storeroom, away from direct heat or light. Once a jar is opened, it is crucial to refrigerate it promptly and keep it tightly sealed. Always refer to the product's 'best before' date on the packaging for unopened cases and consider using opened jars within a few weeks for optimal quality and flavour in your commercial kitchen.

How to clean equipment after using San Ignacio Dulce de Leche / Dulce?

Cleaning equipment after using San Ignacio Dulce de Leche involves ensuring all sticky residues are removed to maintain hygiene in your commercial kitchen. Hot water and a good food-safe detergent are essential for washing down bowls, spatulas, and dispensing tools. For stubborn caramel, a short soak in very hot water can help loosen it before scrubbing. Ensure all equipment is thoroughly rinsed and sanitized according to Health Canada food safety guidelines before its next use.

What does dulce de leche taste like?

San Ignacio Dulce de Leche offers a rich, sweet, and deeply caramelized flavour, often described as a more nuanced and less intensely sugary caramel. It has a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with distinctive milk notes, typical of authentic Latin caramel. This specific product captures that traditional essence, making it a familiar and comforting taste for customers, distinct from a standard butterscotch or burnt sugar caramel.

How many servings will one case of San Ignacio Dulce de Leche yield for a commercial kitchen?

One 12-jar case of San Ignacio Dulce de Leche, with each jar containing 450g, provides a substantial quantity for commercial operations. If you're portioning approximately 30-40 grams per serving for toppings or fillings, a single 450g jar could yield 11-15 servings. This means a full 12-jar case could provide roughly 132-180 servings, depending on your precise application and portion control in a restaurant or catering setting.

What is the shelf life of San Ignacio Dulce de Leche both sealed and after opening?

The sealed shelf life for San Ignacio Dulce de Leche is typically indicated by the 'best before' date printed on the packaging, which is usually several months to a year when stored in a cool, dry place. Once a 450g jar is opened, it should be refrigerated promptly and kept tightly sealed to maintain quality and prevent spoilage. For optimal flavour and consistency in a busy kitchen, it's generally recommended to use an opened jar within 2-4 weeks, adhering to your establishment's food safety protocols.
