Condensed milk became established in South America during colonization. The added sugar allows it to be preserved for a long time, making it easier to store in regions with different climates.
Manufacturers have adapted to local preferences, so the taste of condensed milk differs between South America and Europe.
In South America, it is used as a base ingredient for cakes and various sweets, giving it a sweeter taste and creamier texture.
It is mostly known under the brand name La Lechera.
