The cortado is a popular coffee beverage from Spanish cuisine, originating from cafes in Spain and Latin America. It features equal parts espresso and steamed milk, creating a balanced drink with a rich, smooth texture and muted acidity. Typically served in small portions, the cortado highlights the robust flavors of espresso while softening its intensity with milk. Nutritionally, it contains essential nutrients from the milk, such as calcium and protein. However, it may contain added sugars if sweetened, impacting caloric intake. The cortado is lower in volume than other coffee drinks like lattes or cappuccinos, making it a moderate option for caffeine consumption. For those seeking benefits from antioxidants in espresso, combined with the creaminess of milk in a portion-controlled size, the cortado offers an enjoyable middle ground.
