Collection: AREPAS

Traditional arepas of Medellin for the world.

The Arepa is a flat, round corn meal disc that can be cut open to form a pocket and prepared with different types of fillings. It’s similar to the pita in shape, but the Arepa is prepared by mixing dry corn meal with water and salt (and occasionally oil, butter, eggs, and/or milk). The mixture blends neatly to form a corn meal dough. After being kneaded and shaped into balls, the dough is flattened and shaped into discs, and the discs are then fried, grilled, or baked.
