Let Us Answer Your Questions
Find answers about our handmade Colombian arepas, monthly subscriptions, local delivery, gluten-free kitchen, storage, heating, and easy ways to enjoy them.
Arepas
What is an arepa?
An arepa is a traditional Colombian corn cake made from pre-cooked corn flour. It is warm, golden, lightly crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside.
Arepas can be enjoyed plain, topped, split and filled, or paired with almost anything — eggs, cheese, avocado, chicken, beans, turkey, or your family’s favorite ingredients.
Are arepas the same as tortillas?
No. Arepas and tortillas are very different in texture, thickness, and how they are served.
Tortillas are usually thin and flexible. Colombian arepas are thicker, softer inside, and more substantial.
They can be served plain, topped, split and filled, or used as a warm base for breakfast, snacks, lunchbox ideas, simple meals, and on-the-go family days.
Where do arepas come from?
Arepas trace their ancient origins back hundreds of years to the indigenous peoples of what is now Colombia and Venezuela. They were originally crafted as a daily bread, representing warmth, family, and simple nourishment.
I first discovered Colombian arepas through an animated film set in Colombia. Is this the real thing?
Yes — and we love that the film sparked your curiosity. What you saw was a glimpse into a tradition Colombian families have lived for generations.
Zavor & Co. arepas are made with simple ingredients and inspired by the same everyday Colombian tradition: warm arepas made to be shared, enjoyed, and served in countless ways.
What does a Zavor arepa taste like?
A Zavor arepa has a delicate corn and cheese flavor with a warm, toasted finish. It is lightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and satisfying enough to enjoy on its own or pair with your favorite toppings and fillings.
Simple, Safe, and Honest
Are Zavor arepas really gluten-free?
Yes. Every Zavor & Co. arepa is made with naturally gluten-free ingredients and prepared in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen where no gluten products are processed.
We use gluten-free pre-cooked corn flour from a reputable international food brand, along with water, cheese, real butter, and salt.
What ingredients are in Zavor arepas?
Our arepas are made with five simple ingredients: pre-cooked corn flour, water, cheese, real butter, and salt.
No preservatives. No fillers. Nothing complicated.
Are they safe for someone who is sensitive to gluten?
Yes. Our arepas are made in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen where no gluten-containing products are processed.
If you have celiac disease, a severe allergy, or a medical condition, please review the ingredients carefully and contact us with any questions before ordering.
Are Zavor arepas dairy-free or vegan?
No. Our current recipe includes mozzarella cheese and real butter, both of which are essential to the flavor and texture of our arepas.
They are not dairy-free or vegan. If you have a dairy allergy or sensitivity, please consult your healthcare provider before ordering.

What is the minimum order?

Subscriptions must be active by Sunday at 5:00 PM ET to be included in that week’s Wednesday delivery.
Subscriptions started between the 29th and 31st are scheduled for the 1st Wednesday of the following month.

What if I need more than 40 arepas per month?
We offer custom arepa subscriptions for families, offices, teams, gatherings, or organizations that need more than our Family Stock-Up Pack.
If you need more than 40 arepas per month, contact us and we can create a custom monthly plan with custom pricing.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account dashboard — no penalties, no fees, and no long-term commitment.
We want you to stay because your family loves having arepas on hand, not because you are locked into a contract.
Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?
Yes. If you are traveling, stocked up, or need to skip a month, contact us and we can help you pause your subscription.
When you are ready to resume, we can help you restart your monthly delivery.
Storage & Preparation
How do I heat the arepas?
Place your frozen arepa directly into the toaster on a high setting until warm and lightly golden. Repeat once or twice as needed until it is heated through and slightly crisp on the outside.
No thawing required.
How long do arepas last in the freezer?
For best quality, keep your arepas frozen in their original sealed packaging. They will stay fresh in the freezer for several months.
Can I put the arepas in the fridge instead of the freezer?
Yes. If you plan to enjoy them soon, you can move a pack to the refrigerator.
Refrigerated arepas should be enjoyed within 5 to 7 days. Once thawed, do not refreeze.
Can I heat the arepas in something other than a toaster?
Yes. The toaster gives the best result, but you can also warm arepas in an air fryer, oven, or skillet over medium heat.
Air fryer: 350–400°F for 5–10 minutes, until warm and lightly crisp.
Skillet: medium heat for about 5 minutes per side.
Microwave: not recommended because the arepa may become chewy. If needed, start with 30 seconds and continue in short intervals until warm.
Can I take arepas on the go?
Yes. Heat your arepa, add your favorite filling or topping, then wrap it in foil or parchment for busy family days, school pickup, errands, sports practices, or car rides.
For best quality and food safety, enjoy warm filled arepas within 2 hours, or pack them in an insulated container if you need to hold them longer.
What can I eat with arepas?
Arepas are incredibly versatile. You can enjoy them with eggs, cheese, butter, avocado, turkey, chicken, tuna salad, black beans, shredded beef, pizza toppings, cream cheese, smoked salmon, or roasted vegetables.
Top them, stuff them, wrap them, or serve them simple.
