Negresco is a Brazilian sandwich cookie brand created by Nestlé, originally being sold by its now defunct subsidiary Biscoitos São Luiz in 1987.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nestle.com.br/site/anestle/historia/historia80.aspx|title=Nestlé: História 80 - A Nestlé|date=|publisher=Nestlé|access-date=2017-04-20|archive-date=2017-04-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170420235432/https://www.nestle.com.br/site/anestle/historia/historia80.aspx|url-status=dead}} The product was created as a competitor to the Oreo brand, consisting of two chocolate biscuits with a filling usually in vanilla flavor.{{Cite web |url=http://exame.abril.com.br/marketing/noticias/oreo-e-negresco-entram-na-briga-para-ser-biscoito-mais-amado| title=Oreo e Negresco declaram guerra pelo biscoito recheado |date= |publisher=Exame |access-date=February 20, 2014}} After the end of São Luiz in 2002, the cookies began to be sold under the Nestlé label.
