I’m Leo Cotter. I was born and raised in Venezuela before moving to the U.S. in 2016. Trained as an architect, I shifted careers in 1998 to follow my true passion—culinary arts—with a mission to bring traditional Latin American flavors into everyday homes. In 2013, I set out to transform a cultural staple into an everyday snack. After 5 years of experimenting, failing, and refining, I created the perfect formula for a roasted corn cracker inspired by the arepa. That’s how Craize was born—by uniting ancestral flavors with modern lifestyle. What is Craize? Wafer-thin, roasted corn crackers based on the arepa. Gluten-free, vegan, kosher, and irresistibly tasty, Craize is the ultimate canvas for creative toppings. The real question is: Can you stop at just one?
