El nicuatole es una delicia desde sus
orígenes que se remonta a la época
prehispánica y es que es uno de los
postres más antiguos de la cocina
tradicional mexicana y es uno de los
exquisitos platillos que tiene Oaxaca. Su
nombre proviene del náhuatl necuatl o
necutli, que significa miel -en este caso,
es del maguey-; y atolli, atole.
Originario de San Agustín Yatareni este
manjar, aunque ahora encontramos
muchas variantes, Es parecido a un
natilla, solamente que es a base de masa
asentada de maíz, leche y azúcar, se cree
que antes de la Conquista se endulzaba
con miel de maguey y de ahí el origen de
su apelativo.
Es un postre ideal para una tarde familiar
