Origin

Málaga, Andalusia

Description

The oldest of the Andalusian cold soups — predating tomato-based gazpacho by centuries, and in its nut and bread structure clearly revealing its Moorish ancestry. Ajoblanco is made from stale bread, raw blanched almonds, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and ice water — blended to a smooth, creamy white soup that is simultaneously austere and intensely flavoured. Traditionally served with muscat grapes or sliced melon. The Moorish DNA is undeniable: almonds, bread, acid, and cool service. This is the food of Al-Andalus preserved in the white villages of Málaga's interior, particularly around Archez and Cómpeta.
