Cuñapé

Cuñapé is the beloved bread of eastern Bolivia, a cousin of Brazil’s pão de queijo. Made from yuca (cassava) starch and fresh cheese, these little golden rolls are served with coffee, beer, or just by the handful — impossible to eat just one.

Cheesy Yuca Clouds

The outside bakes into a thin, crisp shell, while the inside is chewy, airy, and intensely cheesy, with the subtle tang of fermented yuca starch. They are best warm, pulled apart in stretchy, glorious strands.
