Food is a very serious deal in Argentina<\/strong>, and specially in the provinces of the Northwest. A mixture of colours and flavors from both pre hispanic cultures and Iberian cuisine that will make eating a key experience during your trip.
\nWe invite you to try some of these delicious options!<\/p>\n

Empanadas<\/h2>\n

A lot has been said and written about which Argentinian province has the best empanadas.\u00a0From the broad (sometimes TOO broad) variety of flavours in Buenos Aires, the ones they cook in Santiago del Estero, up to the ones from Tucuman (us conservatives say NO to raisins in the empanadas) and even the fried empanadas from Jujuy. However,\u00a0it is widely agreed that the best Argentinian empanadas can be found in Salta<\/strong>.
\nEvery empanada lover and taster has a favorite place for eating this delicious baked dough stuffed with beaf, chicken or cheese (the three flavors recognized by the empanadas fundamentalists).
\nYou will find empanadas everywhere in Salta<\/strong>\u00a0since every restaurant includes them in the menu as starters or as their specialty, some places deliver them anywhere and even people sell them in the streets as a way of living.<\/p>\n

Humitas<\/h2>\n

This delicious corn based dish is cooked all over the region and is served wrapped in its own husks.\u00a0It consists of a tasty mix of mashed corn, spices and a melted piece of either cow or goat cheese in the center<\/strong>. You will find that humitas are usually offered in sweet or salty versions and some people even add sugar on them.<\/p>\n

Tamales<\/h2>\n

This spherical version of the humita is also served in a corn husk and is very common throughout South America. Unlike the humita,\u00a0this is not a veggie friendly dish<\/strong>. The stuffing consists on corn flour (instead of fresh and mashed corn), meat, vegetables and spices.<\/p>\n

Locro<\/h2>\n

You will hear a lot about this kind of stew around the patriotic dates (May 25th or July 9th) and you should not leave Salta without having a big bowl on a cold day.
\nThis casserole mainly consists of pumpkin, beans, corn or potatoes and has a pre hispanic origins<\/strong>. Apart from the veggie base, different types of meat can be added; dry meat, beef, pork, sausage and a touch of spring onion. It is cooked over several hours before enjoying\u00a0a plate full of calories to defeat the winter temperatures<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Dessert<\/h2>\n

After finishing your meal, it\u2019s time to enjoy some of the sweet alternatives the Northern cuisine has to offer.
\nThe \u2018turr\u00f3n salte\u00f1o\u2019 looks like a cake but it isn\u2019t<\/strong>. This combination of several layers of dough, dulce de leche, nuts and a cream cover is a delicacy and a true craftwork. \u2018Colaciones\u2019 are little cookie-like pieces covered in dulce de leche and caramelized sugar, perfect for a quick snack in between meals or after dinner.
\nAnother typical dessert is quesillo<\/strong>\u00a0(a flat type of cheese made from either cow or goat) with sugar cane sweet or \u2018cayote\u2019 (a sort of pumpkin).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
