Tips To Prepare It
If you are going to prepare this ajo blanco recipe, I recommend you to use very good quality almonds, since a better result will depend on them.
Regarding the bread, it must be from the previous day and only the crumb should be used, so you must remove all the crust.
It is important to leave the ajo blanco a few hours in the refrigerator so that it takes more body and is very cold when it is time to serve.
