"Pastillas de Leche" is a Spanish term which means, candy made of milk.

Carigara is also known for its pastillas.

What makes it different from other pastillas? It is made from pure carabao's milk.

So when the ingredient is made with condensed milk and is claiming that it came from Carigara... those are imitations only.

The carabao's milk makes the taste different. Condensed milk makes the pastillas very sweet unlike carabao's milk.

Here's a recipe from lutongpinoy.info, not the original recipe of Carigara though:
