SUMMER GAZPACHO

Gazpacho is a cold Spanish tomato-based raw vegetable soup, originating in the southern region of Andalucía. Gazpacho is widely consumed throughout Spain, neighboring Portugal (where it is known as gaspacho) and parts of Latin America. Gazpacho is mostly consumed during the summer months, due to its refreshing qualities.  Our fresh Summer Gazpacho is crunchy, thick and loaded with summer vegetables diced very fine.  Because it's served cold, it's really the perfect picnic and boating soup . . . ahh . . . the "taste" of summer!

Summer just keeps getting better and better!  For a light and refreshing picnic dinner or lunch, try our Antipasto Plate.  Assorted cheeses and cold cut meats (pictured here hard salami and prosciutto), kalamata olives, slow roasted tomatoes and crackers all packaged in our convenient "grab and go" container.  Pairs beautifully with a nice summer red wine like our Mosen Cleto or our Chakana Malbec Rose.
