About Chipa

Chipa is a traditional cheese bread from Paraguay and parts of northern Argentina. It’s a popular snack made from cassava flour, cheese, eggs, milk, and butter, giving it a rich, dense texture and distinct savory flavor. Cassava flour is naturally gluten-free, making Chipa suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. The inclusion of cheese and butter makes it high in fats, particularly saturated fats, so moderation is advised for those watching their intake. However, it is a source of protein, thanks to the eggs and cheese, and provides energy due to the carbohydrate content in cassava flour. Traditionally baked in small, round shapes, Chipa has earned its place as a beloved staple in South American cuisine, often enjoyed as a breakfast item or snack alongside yerba mate tea. While indulgent, its simple, wholesome ingredients highlight its cultural heritage and make it a satisfying treat.
