Arepas

What is an arepa?

An arepa is a traditional corn-based food enjoyed throughout Colombia. It is made from pre-cooked corn flour and can be served plain, topped, paired with meals, or used to create sandwiches.

Zavor arepas are soft inside, lightly toasted outside, and versatile enough for breakfast, snacks, lunches, and easy meals.

Are arepas the same as tortillas?

No. Tortillas are typically thin and flexible, while Colombian arepas are shaped differently, soft inside, and more substantial.

Arepas can be served plain, topped, paired with meals, or used in place of bread for breakfast, snacks, sandwiches, and easy meals.

Where do arepas come from?

Arepas have ancient Indigenous origins in the regions now known as Colombia and Venezuela.

In Colombia, they have remained an important part of everyday life for generations and are prepared in many different styles depending on the region and family tradition.

I first discovered arepas through an animated film set in Colombia. Is this the same food?

Yes—and we love that the film introduced so many people to Colombian arepas.

Zavor arepas are inspired by the everyday Colombian tradition of serving warm arepas at breakfast, alongside meals, as snacks, or with a variety of toppings and pairings.

What does a Zavor arepa taste like?

Zavor arepas have a mild corn-and-cheese flavor, a soft and satisfying center, and lightly toasted edges.

They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with eggs, avocado, cheese, beans, chicken, vegetables, or your favorite toppings.

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 facility.

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, mozzarella cheese, real butter, and salt.

The mozzarella and butter contain milk. Please review the complete ingredient and allergen statement on the package 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.

They contain milk, which is a major food allergen. Please review the complete ingredient and allergen information on the package before ordering.

How does local delivery work?

All orders — Buy Once or Auto-Delivery — are delivered on Wednesdays in selected Lehigh Valley ZIP codes. If your payment is received by Monday at 11:00pm ET, your arepas arrive that same week; after that, delivery moves to the following Wednesday.

"Buy Once" orders have a $5 flat delivery rate, regardless of the number of packages ordered.

There's no minimum. Order as few as 1 package (10 arepas) or as many as 100, with Buy Once or Auto-Delivery.

(Buy Once orders are one-time and require no cancellation.)

Storage & Preparation

How do I heat the arepas?

Toaster: Place one arepa directly into the toaster and toast on high until the toaster pops. Repeat for 2–3 cycles, or until heated through and lightly toasted.

Air fryer: Heat for 3–5 minutes, or until heated through and lightly toasted.

Heating times may vary by appliance.

How long do arepas last in the freezer?

Keep Zavor arepas frozen in their original sealed packaging and enjoy them by the best-if-used-by date printed on the package.

Can I take arepas on the go?

Yes. Heat your arepa, add your favorite topping or filling, and wrap it in foil or parchment for work, school, errands, sports, or travel.

For best quality and food safety, enjoy it within two hours. If you need to hold it longer, use an insulated container.

What can I eat with arepas?

Zavor arepas pair well with eggs, cheese, butter, avocado, turkey, chicken, tuna salad, black beans, vegetables, smoked salmon, or pizza-style toppings.

Enjoy them on their own, top them, pair them with a meal, or use two arepas to make a sandwich.
