Salmorejo

Salmorejo is Andalusian simplicity at its finest - a silky, cold tomato cream born in Córdoba. Ripe tomatoes blend with olive oil, garlic, and stale bread to create a texture so smooth it feels engineered. Lycopene-rich tomatoes meet antioxidant-packed olive oil for a bowl that’s naturally nourishing.

Traditionally topped with hard-boiled egg and Spanish Jabugo ham, we give it the SU FIRE twist. A handful of SU FIRE NUTS adds bold crunch, sweetness, and protein. They contrast beautifully with the creamy base - or enjoy them on the side for an extra boost of fuel.

A dish that tastes clean, bright, and unbelievably satisfying.
