Arepa de Yuca

Cassava Griddle Cake made with Mozzarella cheese

Tortillas & Arepas The Flavor of South America

Arepas are cornmeal griddle cakes, originating from and enjoyed every day in Colombia and Venezuela. They’re usually made of cornmeal, but there are other delicious variations. Tropical’s Arepa de Yuca is made from cassava (yuca), a root vegetable native to South America and the Caribbean, and Mozzarella Cheese. Yuca is typically cooked like potatoes; it can be boiled, mashed, fried, or baked.

The combination of yuca and cheese makes these arepas a delicious treat that you can enjoy as a tasty side with your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or on their own with hot chocolate or coffee. Additionally, arepas are gluten-free.
