Arequipe, also known as dulce de leche, is a rich, creamy caramel spread popular in Latin American cuisine, particularly in Colombia and Argentina. Made from milk and sugar, it is slowly heated to achieve a smooth, golden-brown consistency. Traditional recipes may include vanilla for extra flavor. Arequipe is often enjoyed as a topping for desserts, spread on pastries, or eaten by the spoonful. While it provides calcium and some protein from the milk, it is also high in sugar and calories, making it an indulgent treat best consumed in moderation. It contains minimal fiber, vitamins, or other essential nutrients, so it’s generally considered more of a sweet treat than a health food. For those looking to cut down on sugar, lighter or alternative versions of arequipe may be available.
