Seville's gastronomy is a true reflection of its entire
history. It is intimately linked to Andalusian from where
it gets its ingredients.
This is this case of jamón serrano (cured ham),
shellfish from Cádiz and Huelva, manchego cheese...It
is a popular cuisine inherited from its past.
The essential olive oil can be traced to Seville's close
ties with Mediterranean civilizations. Refined and tolerant
Muslims introduced other new elements. Additional ingredients
brought back from America were rapidly integrated into
Sevillian cuisine and later spread throughout Europe.
Gazpacho is a mixture of bread, water, garlic, tomato,
peppers, vinegar and olive oil. It is served in a cup
or bowl when accompanied with garnish.It represents one
of the best exponents of our cuisine. Its recipe evolved
further as new ingredients were brought back from America
in the 17th C.
