One of the gastronomic icons of our land is the well-known Ajoblanco, that cold soup so characteristic of the Andalusian cuisine and that is so delicious in Estepona.
Origin of Ajoblanco
Even today it is not very clear if ajoblanco was born in Granada or Malaga, although what seems more established is that its origin dates back to the cuisine of Al-Andalus.
The almond is one of the main ingredients of this dish, along with garlic, so, the abundance of almonds in the province of Malaga led to the rise of this soup so refreshing as well as nutritious.

The recipe for this cold soup varies depending on the region where we are. Not only this, but, with the passage of time, and the entrance of fusion cuisine into gastronomy, the recipe has been changing from the hands of the best chefs who have been making their own version.
