Our creative gazpacho recipe offers a fresh and creative take on the traditional Spanish cold soup, blending the natural sweetness of French strawberries with the balanced acidity of ripe tomatoes. Served chilled, it is a perfect dish for hot summer days, combining lightness, colour and bold flavour in every spoonful.
Did you know that France produces a wide variety of high-quality strawberries, each with its own character? From the delicate and elongated Gariguette to the juicy Ciflorette, the rounder Cléry, or the intensely aromatic Mara des Bois, known for its wild strawberry notes, these varieties bring depth and nuance to the dish. Paired with ripe French tomatoes, they create a beautifully balanced and refreshing combination.
