1. Soak the Bread

In a small bowl, cover the torn bread pieces with cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes until completely soft.

2. Make the Almond-Garlic Paste

In a powerful blender or food processor, combine the raw almonds, garlic cloves, and salt. Blend until you have a smooth, thick paste.

3. Combine

Squeeze the excess water from the soaked bread and add it to the blender with the almond-garlic paste. Add the sherry vinegar. Blend again until everything is well incorporated.

4. Emulsify

With the blender running on a low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. This will create a creamy, emulsified texture, similar to making mayonnaise.

5. Add Water

Gradually pour in the ice-cold water while the blender is on a low setting. Add water until you reach your desired consistency—some prefer it thicker like a cream, others thinner like a soup.

6. Chill

Taste and adjust the salt and vinegar if needed. Transfer the soup to a glass container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it's very cold.

7. Serve

Ladle the chilled Ajoblanco into bowls. Garnish with halved sweet grapes and a final drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil before serving.
