Arepas have pre-Columbian origins, with evidence suggesting their existence centuries before European colonization. Indigenous peoples of the northern Andes region, including present-day Venezuela and Colombia, cultivated corn and used it to make arepas. They were a staple food, providing sustenance and playing a crucial role in their diet. The 'gourmet' element and cinnamon infusion is a modern development, elevating a traditional food with contemporary culinary techniques.

The flavor profile is a delightful blend of sweet and savory, with the subtly spiced cinnamon arepa complementing the savory fillings. The fillings add diverse flavor notes based on the selection of meat, chicken, or vegetables.
The arepa itself has a mild corn flavor enhanced by the warm spice of cinnamon. Fillings contribute a variety of tastes: Shredded beef might offer rich, savory and slightly salty notes; chicken fillings, particularly those with avocado or mayonnaise, provide creamy and subtly flavored contrasts; while vegetable fillings bring fresh, earthy, and sometimes tangy elements depending on the specific vegetables and seasonings used. The overall experience is a balanced combination of sweet, savory, and often creamy textures.

Corn Flour Choice
Use pre-cooked corn flour (masa harina or masarepa), specifically designed for making arepas. This type of flour ensures a smoother texture and better consistency.
Cinnamon Infusion
Add the cinnamon powder gradually to the dough. Too much might overpower the flavor. Starting with a small amount and adjusting to taste ensures the right balance.
Filling Preparation
Prepare fillings in advance to allow flavors to meld. Marinating meat or chicken overnight will enhance their taste and tenderness. Season vegetables generously to complement the arepa's sweetness.
Grilling Perfection
If grilling, brush the arepas lightly with oil to prevent sticking and achieve a golden-brown crust. Cook over medium heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning.
