I was looking for a place where I could find 'exotic' vinegars in Barcelona ... With no luck, until…read moreI found this gem! The people working here are super friendly and helpful. You can even sample the vinegars before you buy them. I bought some mango, fig, date and cherry vinegars among others and the were all mind blowing. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to add new and special flavors to their recipes.

One of our highlights of our trip to Spain. We couldn't have found a better place to buy souvenirs…read morebefore our trip back home. I originally found this place on chowhound. It was listed as a must visit for souvenirs and I added it to our itinerary. My friends were a bit hesitant to come here with me because they had no plans to buy any oils or vinegars but after our awesome tour and guidance from Carlos, one of the business owners, they were ALL IN. Carlos thoroughly explained every single product in their store and answered questions like how everything was made, ingredients, quality, etc. We got to taste everything our hearts desired. I ended up buying a couple bottles of white truffle oil, hazelnut oil, date vinegar, and balsamic vinegar. I've never tried such a wide variety of oils and vinegars and trust me when I say this but it's going to be the best thing you've ever tried. Who the hell knew date vinegar existed? It's so sweet, thick, rich, and so delicious. I have no idea how to use it but I wouldn't mind drinking a spoonful everyday. Their balsamic vinegar seriously changed my life. It's so thick and so tasteful just on it's own. I need to throw out my market bought vinegar at home. Once you pick out what you want, you choose the type of bottle and size. If you're traveling, they'll seal the bottle and if you're gifting it, they'll wrap it nicely for you. Superb customer service! We were so hungry after shopping here, Carlos gave us some restaurant recommendations and even called the restaurant to reserve a table for us. He's so hospitable and awesome! Highly recommend this shop!

It was eaten with a spoon and had a whipped cream sort of texture. The flavor was out of this world. Got a kombucha as well.

A kicked-up farmers market with several rows of vendors selling produce, tapas, fish, cocktails,…read morecoffee, and specialty products. The market's natural perimeter is dotted with sit-down cafes if you prefer to have table service. Organized, good variety, good atmosphere. It is rare when a market that sells a lot of fish, does not reek of fish from a block away, so it is a very clean market and we saw evidence of constant clean-up. Delicious and impressive spot to grab a few little bites to eat your way through the market, or to bring back with a bottle of wine for your hotel picnic when you're hungry but your tired tourist bod can't bear a full service din din.

Visiting this market is one of the best ways to experience Barcelona's food culture. Just off La…read moreRambla, this historic market is filled with colorful stalls selling fresh fruit, seafood, cured meats, cheeses, pastries, spices, chocolates, and local specialties. The atmosphere is lively and the energetic. We really enjoyed wandering through the market and sampling different foods while watching the local vendors at work. There are also several small restaurants and counter-style eateries where you can enjoy freshly prepared seafood, tapas, and traditional Catalan dishes. If you want a quieter experience, it's worth arriving earlier in the day before the crowds build up.

Beautiful, high-end iberico ham shop! As soon as you step in, they will ask if you'd like a sample…read moreof their finest iberico ham! And they will give you samples of whatever ham they have out for carving. The gentlemen helping us was very nice and informative. Each piece we had was flavorful and yummy! The ham that was aged longer was easier to chew with less resistance. We decided to purchase the highest quality aged 5 years, which was less salty, but robust in meaty flavor. It was absolutely delicious with rustic French bread from the bakery close to our hotel. If you're sightseeing near Casa Batllo, it's only a 3-5 minute walk around the corner! We're not iberico ham connoisseurs and I'm not sure whether or not we could tell the difference between high end or mid range iberico ham. They're all very good! We probably could have gotten some less pricey ones from the markets and would have been just as satisfied. But nonetheless, it was nice to buy something luxurious to enjoy while in Spain.

Specialty store full of dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate! I came by here to grab some souvenirs…read moreduring our 4 days in Barcelona! Prices are a little higher, but in line with a specialty or gift store. Depends on how much you like your friends! :) Great selection of snacks - which is totally up my alley! Go all the way to the back for chocolate! When I came here there was basically one to really help me so the service was basically none to speak of. But then again, how often do you have service in a specialty/ gift store? lol! Def recommend if you're in the area and want some snacks for your travels or to tote back home!

This is my kind of grocery store....basically it's all snacks…read more They have an insane variety of nuts, chocolates and other goodies. We came in to get some turron - the Spanish treat that I had every year for Christmas. However, the one they make here is 1000x-2000x better than the one you get in the US. That's just an estimation though, not exact numbers. Skip the key chains and magnets come here for the souvenirs for friends. While it can be a little pricier, they will thank you. We got a couple of varieties: Chocolate & hazelnut - Amazing! My favorite - it hurt me very much to give my wife the last chunk, since she couldn't eat the harder ones....but that's what husbands do. Creamy milk chocolate with PLENTY of hazelnuts. Alicante - my second favorite and the one I grew up eating. This is an almond/nuggat turron that's super hard and has a thin coat of candy paper (I think that's what it is) on top. This was always my favorite growing up and is what I consider to be the more traditional one. Crema quemada - basically translates to "burnt cream" this one tastes like a soft creme brûlée candy bar! It's super sweet, but delicious and will have you licking your fingers. Aside from the delicious turron they also have dehydrated fruits (which is what the name of the store translates to), nuts and other candies. They also have a few more varieties of turron for you to choose from and they come in various sizes. We also bought some powered cocoa to make hot chocolate at home. Customer service was bipolar here. The gentleman we asked for something was super helpful. The cashier - which I think was the owner - wasn't the nicest and I felt he was just rushing everyone of of the store once they got to the point to pay. He seemed a little bothered when I was unsure if he should charge my card in euro or dollars.....he kinda just huffed and pressed whatever. Either way his bitterness is HEAVILY outweighed by his sweets!
