Originating from the vibrant cuisine of El Salvador, this sweet treat can be enjoyed on its own or filled with fruits and sweetened cheeses. Though Semita offers a burst of flavor, it's best enjoyed in moderation due to its sugar and calorie content. With its roots deeply embedded in Central American culture, Semita is not just a dessert; it's a taste of heritage, bringing warmth and joy to every bite.
