Planning a party or event?
If you need our empanadas for an important party/event, we strongly recommend you ask to receive your order at least 2 days before the event (or more if you can). Our empanadas last 3 months in the freezer, so you can order well in advanced.
Delivery delays
We use a very reliable Next Day service with DHL, but occasionally there can be delays. Our packaging is designed to maintain the cold chain for up to 48hrs. If there is a small delay and the empanadas are delivered within that 2 day window, then they will still be safe to consume/freeze. If there is a longer delay, please contact us and we will issue a full refund or offer to send the order again.
Our empanadas are frozen and already cooked and pre-baked, they just need a little time in the oven to heat up and they are ready to enjoy! Your order will come with heating up instructions, but they are very simple :)
To heat up from defrosted:
- Pre-heat oven to 220C Fan
- Place empanadas in the oven in a baking tray with baking paper. Leave for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving and then enjoy!
To heat up directly from frozen:
- Pre-heat oven to 160C Fan
- Place empanadas in the oven in a baking tray with baking paper. Leave for 10 minutes.
- Increase the heat to 220C Fan and continue for 8 to 10 more minutes.
- Rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving and then enjoy!
