Arepas Antioqueñas

Arepas are famous all over Venezuela and Colombia. Chef and researcher José Luis Rivera is traveling across all 32 departments of Colombia to document nearly 600 traditional types of arepas for an upcoming book. My favorite are Paisa and from Antioquia! In Colombia, a "Paisa" is a person from the northwestern region of the country, primarily centered around Antioquia and its capital, Medellín, as well as the Coffee Triangle (Eje Cafetero / Caldas, Risaralda, and Quindío).
