About Águila
Águila is one of the four chocolate brands Arcor names as the longest-established and most highly regarded in the Argentine market, with Bon o Bon, Rocklets and Cofler. It runs across tablets and baking chocolate, and in 2024 it was extended into alfajores, the layered biscuit sandwich that functions in Argentina as something close to a national dessert.
