Frigola

Frigola is a traditional Catalan dessert soup, typically served cold. It is made primarily from ripe white peaches, water, and sugar. The peaches are usually peeled, pitted, and pureed, then combined with water to achieve a desired consistency and sweetened to taste. Some variations may include a touch of lemon juice for added brightness or a hint of cinnamon for warmth.

The dessert is known for its refreshing and light character, making it a popular choice during warmer months. Its simplicity is one of its defining features, allowing the natural sweetness and flavor of the peaches to be the star. Frigola is often garnished with fresh peach slices or a sprig of mint. It is a relatively easy dessert to prepare, requiring minimal cooking and primarily relying on the quality of the fruit. While traditionally made with white peaches, other varieties can also be used. Its texture can range from a smooth puree to one with small pieces of fruit, depending on personal preference. It's a classic example of rustic, fruit-based desserts found in Mediterranean cuisines.
