A cortado is a simple yet flavorful coffee beverage that originated in Spain and is now enjoyed worldwide. Made by combining equal parts espresso and steamed milk, its name comes from the Spanish word "cortar," meaning "to cut," as the milk "cuts" the intensity of the espresso. The result is a smooth, well-balanced drink with a rich, bold flavor and creamy texture. Nutritionally, a cortado typically contains minimal calories and fat, especially when prepared with low-fat or plant-based milk options. It is a source of antioxidants from the espresso and can provide an energy boost from its natural caffeine content. However, its healthfulness depends on portion control, milk choice, and avoidance of added sweeteners. Smaller than a latte but just as indulgent, a cortado offers a satisfying coffee experience without excess.
