This vegan and gluten-free soup is everything you didn't know you needed this summer. Refreshing and meant to be served cold, the gazpacho relies heavily on a seasonal favorite: tomatoes. Our gazpacho also features Piment D'Espelette to give the dish a mild, fruity heat that gives the soup a kick, but in a subtle way.  We've prepared two versions of the gazpacho: The first features Chimichurri Spiced Olive Oil to add brightness to the dish. Chimichurri sauce is so good, you may find you want to drink it, and with this soup, you kinda can.  The second is an aromatic delight using our Syrian Za'atar Spiced Olive Oil. The sesame seeds add crunch and all of the toasted spices make the bowl of gazpacho a truly unique dish. So which will you choose? If it were up to us, we'd make them both.

Piment d'Espelette Pan de Tomate

Tomato season is here! And this recipe is a wonderfully simple way to make pantry staples shine. While all spices are special, Piment d'Espelette has the terroir of Basque country. This rare chile is only grown and cultivated in the Espelette commune in France's Nive Valley. Espelette pepper is similar to a red hatch chile and is traditionally used for fish stews or as a black pepper substitute in dishes. We took sliced ciabatta and smothered the toast in grated heirloom tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil to make a perfect bite. Finish it off with a sprinkle of Fleur de Sel and Piment d'Espelette for a pop of flavor.Piment d'Espelette is one of the appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) products which France certifies as having the true terroir of the region. This spice is as genuine as champagne from the Champagne region of France or Roquefort from Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. It doesn't get more time-honored than this!
