Craize

Leo and Michele Cotter, natives of Venezuela, grew up savoring the rich flavors and cultural significance of arepas, a traditional South American maize-based patty that is a staple in many households. Inspired by the cherished crunchy edges of freshly grilled arepas, Leo and Michele set out to transform this centuries-old recipe into a contemporary snack that could be enjoyed globally.

Founded on the principle of simplicity and authenticity, Craize is the result of their innovative approach to traditional cooking. By modernizing the arepa recipe, they created a unique snack cracker that maintains the soulful essence of its inspiration while offering a new, crunchier texture. Craize crackers are made with real fruits, spices, and seasonings, and are slow-toasted to achieve the perfect crunch, making them an excellent snack on their own or a delightful base for a variety of toppings.

Leo and Michele’s commitment to quality is evident in every batch of Craize crackers, which are designed to be as versatile as they are tasty. Whether you choose to enjoy them with braised meats, crumbled cheese, sweet jams, or savory sauces, Craize crackers invite you to get creative and explore the flavors of Venezuela in a whole new way. As a celebration of heritage and innovation, Craize encourages snack lovers to experiment and discover their favorite combinations, making every bite an adventure.
