At Very Tasty we have a wide variety of products with the tradition and unique flavor of Latin America. Our portfolio includes several types of Empanadas with the characteristic recipes from Argentina, Colombia, Cuba and Venezuela in different presentations: beef, chicken, ham & cheese, spinach. An empanada is made by folding dough or pastry around stuffing in a half-moon shape and then baked or fried. Empanadas are also followed by Aji (dipping hot sauce) which makes you not only one but several of them. We also offer the typical Colombian Pandebono (Cheese Bread), the delicious Tequeño (cheese sticks), as well as the popular Arepa (corn meal).
All our products are not only healthy with the highest quality but also are easy and convenient to prepare.
