How to Choose Your First Empanada (A Straight Answer)

Five Argentum empanadas lined up on a white marble board, showcasing different shapes and pastry colours including golden and green varieties, against a dark moody background

For a mixed first order, choose the Chef’s Box: 20 frozen empanadas across five core flavours. For one flavour, choose a four- or twelve-pack. Maverick is a separate beef, mozzarella and sweet-potato option, not an automatic addition to the mixed box.

Choose by the filling you want

If you want Start here What to know
Slow-cooked beef brisket Carnivore Beef brisket, onion, garlic and red capsicum.
Beef with cheese and sweet potato Maverick Contains wheat and dairy.
Chicken The Athlete Includes green olives, mozzarella and curry.
Vegetarian cheese filling The Classic Three cheeses and caramelised onion.
Vegan Patagonia Vegetable filling in green dough.
Open-top beef Habibi Yalla Minced beef with onion, tomato, lemon and parsley.

Four, twelve or a mixed box?

A four-pack lets you build a mixed order from individual flavours. A twelve-pack is useful when the household already knows what it likes. The Chef’s Box is a five-flavour tasting format. Read each product’s current contents rather than assuming every box includes all six active flavours.

As a planning guide, allow 3 to 4 empanadas per person when they are the main meal, or 2 to 3 alongside other substantial food. Appetite and sides matter; a pack count is not a guaranteed guest count.

Frozen for home, baked for an event

Retail packs are frozen for cooking at home. Keep them frozen until needed and follow the instructions for the flavour and method. Maverick uses the same oven timing as Carnivore; Habibi Yalla has a longer oven time. Use the complete cooking guide rather than one cooking time for the entire range.

Ingredients and dietary needs come before preference

The Classic is vegetarian and Patagonia is vegan. Argentum does not produce gluten-free empanadas. If you have an allergy or a specific ingredient restriction, check the current product information and ask before ordering. Do not choose a flavour based on a heat rating or a general reassurance about allergies.

Before checkout

  • Check your chosen pack or box contents and current price.
  • Confirm postcode-based delivery or the pickup option offered at checkout.
  • Make room in the freezer. Frozen empanadas keep up to six months at -18°C.
  • Keep the cooking guide handy for your first bake.
