A taste that comes from the earth, from Andalusian sunlight, from kitchens that know luxury isn’t always hot. At Made in Spain Gourmet, we believe in dishes that move you, and few do it like these two timeless classics: gazpacho and salmorejo. Because Made in Spain is Quality [caption id="attachment_45211" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Gazpacho and Salmorejo: Tradition and Innovation Served Cold[/caption] GAZPACHO It’s a vegetal caress. Ripe tomato, green pepper, cucumber, a whisper of garlic, soaked bread and the best EVOO (extra virgin olive oil). Serve it very cold, like elegance served without artifice. It refreshes, nourishes and revives like a drinkable summer poem. How to enjoy it best? Serve it in a glass, as if it were a signature cocktail. Pair it with a young white wine from Rueda or a fino from Jerez: acidity and freshness for a heavenly pairing. And give it a sublime twist: add Señorío de Montanera Iberian ham pearls. They burst in the mouth with Iberian intensity and transform gazpacho into an unexpected experience. [caption id="attachment_45212" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Gazpacho and Salmorejo: Tradition and Innovation Served Cold[/caption] SALMOREJO It’s pure creaminess. A powerful emulsion of tomato, bread, garlic and the liquid gold that is EVOO. It has body, it has soul. And it’s presented with the solemnity a masterpiece deserves. How to elevate it even more? Add grated organic egg and shavings of acorn-fed Iberian ham. Pair it with a Navarrese Garnacha rosé wine or a very cold brut nature cava. And for palates seeking the extraordinary, crown the dish with Señorío de Montanera Iberian ham Caviaroli. Small spheres of flavor that bring a touch of haute cuisine without complications. A saline, subtle and deeply Andalusian symphony. TRADITION REINVENTED The classic is not at odds with innovation. Today, Spanish producers reinvent gazpacho and salmorejo with organic ingredients, no additives, no rush, with soul. And we select only the best: Honest recipes Zero-kilometer (locally sourced) ingredients Presentations ready to shine on a Michelin table or your summer terrace Don’t forget the detail that changes everything: Isbilya Sikitita EVOO. Fruity, delicate, elegant. The signature touch that turns any homemade version into a true declaration of love for cooking. PASSION FOR SPANISH GASTRONOMY In every spoonful of gazpacho or salmorejo there is history, family, field. And there is also a modern, creative Spain that loves its roots and reinvents them with respect. Thank you for being part of this community that does not only eat: it celebrates gastronomy. With feeling, with purpose, with passion for what’s ours. Until next time, gourmets. May your summer be red, cold and delicious. — Your culinary advisor at Made in Spain Gourmet Our recommendations Jamón Ibérico de Bellota 100%, Sliced, Navarretinto Jamón 100% Ibérico de Bellota Oro Pata Negra, Sliced, BEHER Jamón Ibérico de Bellota 100%, Sliced, Juan Pedro Domecq BUY NOW Do you like our content?
