dear giancarlo .. I DONT KNOW where in venezuela you are going to find an arepa with melted cheese.. Thats a cliche from you jajaja.. colombian arepas (chochlo arepas) are the ones that have melted cheese but no venezuelan.. Thats the way every arepa maker in venezuela serve it.. I guess is hard to melt the cheese for every arepa in a place with 100 people waiting form them.. So yes the filling for the arepas is cold my friend, you can get it hot in your home maybe.

Native to Venezuela and Colombia, the arepa is a corn pone split in half and then stuffed with goodness, resulting in a stomach-expanding cornmeal sandwich. At this small Venezuelan strip mall cafe, they have every variety, each less than $5: There's the basic cheese-and-butter filling with traditional Venezuelan queso de año a salty cheese that's white and crumbly. There's the arepa de perico, full of eggs scrambled with peppers and tomatoes. The reina pepeada has a filling of chicken salad mixed with potatoes, carrots, and avocado. And the best is the arepa de carne mechada, where the corn cake is stuffed with a juicy beef that's been stewed with tomatoes and onions not unlike ropa vieja. All are served greasy and hot with a plastic bottle of garlic mayonnaise to squirt on top.
