The Andalusian gazpacho could be considered as the paradigm of the Mediterranean diet by integrating in its recipe all the most healthy and ecological vegetables of Andalusia, offering a perfect combination of flavor and health. The Luque Ecológico Andalu- sian gazpacho is based on a family recipe that comes very close to home-made and with the extra benefit of organic origin in every ingredient as our organic extra virgin olive oil (4%). This gazpacho is ideal for loss weight diets because its caloric content is lower than a homemade juice but with a much higher satiating power while ensuring a high intake of nutrients that are normally sacrificed in many diets. Recommended especially for a healthy, nutri- tious and very low calorie dinner. It’s recommended to serve it cold during summer season.
TASTING NOTES: Elegant and soft taste with toma- to aftertaste.
IDEAL WITH: Refreshing drink, cold soup with chopped tomato, greenpepper, onion.
LUQUE ECOLOGICO S.L. is an oil mill where high quality extra virgin olive oil is obtained from Organic that began its activity in 1999. It is located in Castro del Río (CORDOBA), in the heart of Andalusia, one of the towns that make up the Caliphate Route between Córdoba and Granada.
After generations of olive and milling tradition (7th as olive growers and 5th as millers) our family has reached the organic cultivation of the olive grove as the maximum expression of the concept of food quality and respect for the environment, developing and controlling the complete process from the organic production of the olive grove until extraction in our oil mill and packaging.Our entry into the organic sector as olive growers back in the 80's was not the result of a fashion or snobbery but of the conviction of our founder, José Antonio Luque Serrano, father of the current owners of the company (Juan Manuel and Belén) in changing the way of producing olives and oil.
At LUQUE ECOLOGICO S. L. we are convinced that sustainability is a key aspect of our business strategy and, therefore, we consider it vital to evaluate the impact on the environment of our products and activities from the perspective of the value chain. Already in 2008 in our company we decided that the ecological origin of our product was not enough to be acting responsibly, so we decided to develop a Carbon Footprint calculation protocol: “CO2 Verified ”
In 2015 we decided to take another step in this direction, adopting the “Environmental Product Declaration” (EPD), as it is a much more ambitious certification in terms of the environmental parameters that are taken into account when assessing the activity of the company, from the agronomic management of the olive grove with Organic Agriculture practices to the putting into circulation of the product.Our product has received numerous prestigious national and international awards since 2006 and is currently successfully positioned in more than 20 countries.
