Salmorejo is a cold tomato soup typical from Córdoba, which has rapidly evolved from it’s peasant origins to a truly gourmet dish, widely served by all the top chefs in Spain and reaching International recognition. Salmorejo is a healthy soup, low in calories and perfect to serve as a starter or aperitif on a hot summer’s day. Cordobeses believe that the secret to a good salmorejo is the bread that they use, which always needs to be telera bread, a traditional white bread from Córdoba baked into the shape of a montera or bullfighter’s hat.
