What's a Mozzarepa?

The MozzArepa is a new twist on the classic South American staple called the arepa.  Colombia native Luis H. Leon thought a slightly modified version of the arepa would appeal to consumers looking for a fresh & unique alternative to the traditional, sometimes monotonous, New York City street festival food.  He created a delectable recipe consisting of fresh mozzarella cheese sandwiched between two sweet, tender cornbread patties and "grilled to perfection".  With that, the MozzArepa was born, he began selling it at street festivals throughout Manhattan and before long, he realized he was definitely onto something.  The response has been incredible and now, almost 20 years later, MozzArepas are a familiar favorite amongst New York City metropolitan residents and tourists alike.  Leon's Food Corporation currently manufactures and sells over 500,000 MozzArepas each year and the numbers continue to grow as more & more people are exposed to this delicious creation.  Whether you'd like to try a MozzArepa for the first time or are looking forward to satisfying the crave you've been experiencing since that street festival where you had your last one, the convenience of the new online MozzArepa store offers your chance to enjoy as many MozzArepas as you'd like, anytime, anywhere!
