Natillas and Buñuelos: The Heart of Colombian Holiday Traditions

In Colombia, the holiday season is filled with the delicious smells of special foods being prepared. Among the most cherished holiday traditions are natillas and buñuelos. These treats are more than just food; they are the flavors that mark the holidays, bringing families and communities together to celebrate.

  • Natillas: This creamy, cinnamon-spiced dessert is a holiday staple in Colombia. It’s rich and comforting, with a velvety texture that’s perfect for enjoying on a cold winter evening. Whether it’s Christmas Eve or New Year’s, no holiday meal is complete without a bowl of natillas. Su Sabor offers an easy-to-make natillas mix that brings the comforting taste of this beloved dessert to your table with just a few simple ingredients—milk, sugar, and Su Sabor’s special mix.
  • Buñuelos: For Colombians, buñuelos are as essential to holiday celebrations as Christmas lights and fireworks. These fried dough balls filled with cheese are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Traditionally served with a warm drink like aguapanela or hot chocolate, buñuelos are the perfect holiday treat, offering both nostalgia and comfort. With Su Sabor’s buñuelos mix, you can quickly make this delicious treat at home and share it with your loved ones, no matter where you are.

Pandebonos, Almojábanas, and Other Colombian Pastries to Enjoy with Family

The holidays are a time to enjoy food together, and nothing brings people together like the smell of freshly baked pandebonos and almojábanas. These beloved Colombian pastries are often served alongside breakfast, snacks, or as part of festive meals, and are a must-have for any holiday celebration.

  • Pandebonos: These cheesy, chewy rolls made from yuca flour are a Colombian favorite, often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or chocolate caliente. Their golden-brown, slightly crispy exterior and soft, gooey interior are a treat that will transport you straight to Colombia. Thanks to Su Sabor’s pandebono mix, you can make these delicious snacks in your own kitchen. Just add water, cheese, and bake! In no time, your home will smell like a Colombian bakery, and you’ll be able to share these comforting treats with your family.
  • Almojábanas: Similar to pandebonos, almojábanas are soft, fluffy cheese-filled rolls, but they’re made with cornmeal instead of yuca flour. These little bites of heaven are perfect for any time of day—whether you’re serving them for breakfast, enjoying them as an afternoon snack, or sharing them as part of a larger holiday meal. With Su Sabor’s almojábana mix, you can easily recreate this traditional Colombian favorite and enjoy it fresh from your oven.

The beauty of these pastries lies not just in their taste, but in their ability to bring people together. With pandebonos, almojábanas, and other classic Colombian treats from Su Sabor, you can create a warm, festive atmosphere that makes everyone feel like they’re home, no matter where they are.

Taste the Holidays with Colombian Sweets and Snacks

No holiday feast is complete without something sweet to balance out the savory dishes. Colombian sweets and snacks are an essential part of the holiday season, and they also serve as a way to share the joy of the season with friends and family.

  • Arequipe: The Colombian version of dulce de leche, arequipe is a creamy caramel spread made from milk and sugar. It’s a sweet indulgence that can be enjoyed in many ways—spread on bread, paired with wafers, or even as a topping for ice cream. Arequipe is a must-have in any Colombian kitchen, and in Su Sabor, we have different products with this delicious topping! Some of our customer’s favorites: Natilla de Arequipe!

Whether you’re dipping them in guacamole or enjoying them on their own, they add a crunchy, flavorful element to any meal. Su Sabor’s plantain chips are made with quality ingredients, so you can enjoy this traditional snack right from the bag or pair it with your favorite dips.
