About La Lechera
La Lechera is a sweetened condensed milk sold across Spain and Latin America, used in desserts including tres leches cake and flan. It is one of Nestlé's largest brands in the Spanish-speaking world. Condensed milk keeps without refrigeration because of its sugar content, which is why it became a staple in hot climates before domestic fridges.
