What are Colombian arepas?
Arepas are corn cakes that are eaten in all regions of Colombia, with variations in preparation, filling and accompaniments. They can be roasted, fried or grilled, and are served with cheese, butter, meat, hogao or simply on their own. Each region gives them its own special touch:
-
Arepa paisa : Thin, white and perfect with butter and cheese.
-
Arepa santandereana : Crispy, made with peeled corn and pork rind.
-
Arepa boyacense : Sweet, filled with cheese and with a fluffier texture.
-
Egg Arepa : Popular on the coast, fried and stuffed with egg.
Each bite of arepa tells a story and represents a region of the country
