About Cheese pastechi
Cheese Pastechi is a savory pastry originating from Caribbean cuisine, particularly popular in Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire. This delectable snack features a golden, flaky dough filled with a blend of melty cheeses, often Gouda or Edam, offering a rich and creamy texture. The dough is typically made from flour, butter, and water, giving it a tender yet crispy consistency after frying. While Cheese Pastechi is undeniably indulgent, its high calorie and fat content make it best enjoyed in moderation. The pastry provides energy and calcium from the cheese, essential for bone health, but it is also high in saturated fats and may contain added salt. Traditionally served as a breakfast item or street food snack, it’s a flavorful treat that embodies the comforting essence of Caribbean heritage. Pair it with fresh vegetables or fruit for a more balanced meal option.
