Arepa with cheese is a traditional dish from Colombian and Venezuelan cuisine, popular across Latin America. Made from cornmeal dough, the arepa is grilled or baked until golden and then filled or topped with melted cheese. It’s a gluten-free option due to its corn base, making it suitable for those with wheat sensitivities. The hearty combination of carbohydrates from the cornmeal and protein from the cheese provides energy and helps keep you feeling full. However, its nutritional balance depends on preparation—grilled arepas are healthier compared to fried versions, which can be higher in fat. The cheese adds calcium and flavor but can also increase saturated fat and sodium levels depending on the type used. Best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal, Arepa with cheese is a comforting and versatile dish reflecting the vibrant flavors of Latin America.
