New Andalusian Gazpacho
NEW FOR 2009, Gazpacho Andaluz in a carton, it does not require refrigeration!
Andalusian Gazpacho has been for centuries a staple ingredient of the Mediterranean diet. Highly aromatic and full bodied with a light orange colour, it is made in a mortar with tomato bread, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, salt, garlic, cucumber and pepper. Thanks to these ingredients it is a food very rich in vitamins, vegetable fibre, oleic acid and mineral salts. It is a natural part of a balanced and healthy diet.
Our gazpacho is made in the heart of the Guadalquivir valle, the home of the gazpacho, using the best traditional recipe of Andalusian gazpacho. The result is a product that the finest palates will be unable to distinguish from gazpacho made at home.
HEALTH BENEFITS
According to a recent study by the Agriculture Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) consuming gazpacho significantly increases the amount of vitamin C in the blood while reducing molecules linked to stress and illness. The level of vitamin C in volunteers who consumed gazpacho were found to have increased by 22% in the case of women and 27% in the case of men and the levels of uric acid and other stress molecules in the study group were significantly reduced.
Tomato, the main ingredient of Gazpacho, is an outstanding source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to lower risk of heart disease, macular degeneration and several types of cancer such as those of the prostate, lung, stomach and bladder. When tomatoes are heated the lycopone turns into a form that it is more bio-active and easily assimilated by the body, this is why consuming products that contains "cooked" tomato is internationally recommended.
Our gazpacho is made using the best and latest methods that allow the product to be processed gently while guaranteeing a longer shelf life. The result is what we believe is the best gazpacho in the market with a taste fit for the most demanding gourmets. TRY IT AND LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT GAZPACHO!!!
