Preserves, artisan cheeses, burrata, smoked products. A whole variety of gourmet ingredients that you can now find in specialized stores in Barcelona.
Gourmet is synonymous with exquisite palate. It translates into buying ingredients and delicatessen foods that entered the pantry of our homes without knowing at what time.
This is not the time to think that gourmet is different from delicatessen. This last word is a German concept associated with an exquisite or select product. Gourmet refers to being able to appreciate good food.
So whether they are delicatessen or gourmet ingredients, in the end it is an exquisitely delicious gastronomic world.
Chopped sandwiches, handmade cheeses, natural wines, preserves, etc. It is a delight to open the fridge with these ingredients in it. If you want your table to become a magnificent restaurant, you can find gourmet food in different stores in Barcelona.
