To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, our staffers took on a sweet challenge: a concha taste test! From strawberry to chocolate to vanilla, conchas are more than just colorful pastries. They are a symbol of culture, community and comfort across Latin America.
Conchas and Culture: A bite of Hispanic heritage
Which concha reigns supreme? Our staffers put their taste buds to the test in this sweet showdown for Hispanic Heritage Month.
