Cuisine

Cheese Mote

Cheese Mote

Cartagena's gastronomy is very diverse due to its coastal location. The dishes are made mainly with fish and seafood with a mix of indigenous, Spanish, African, and regional influences. This mix of cultures makes Cartagena's gastronomy unique and varied throughout the country.

Cheese Mote is a delicious traditional soup from Cartagena. It's made of yam, a tuber that gives it a dense and soft texture. In addition, coastal cheese, coconut juice, lemon, onion, and garlic give it a unique flavor. Although the recipe may vary slightly in different regions, these are the main ingredients.

Also, due to its coastal condition, fried fish is a typical dish par excellence in Cartagena. Usually, different types of fish like tilapia, red snapper, and mojarra, among others, are accompanied by coconut rice.
