What makes a better gift than exquisite bombons, top-notch extra virgin olive oil, or an impressive Spanish red wine? Pick up some of these delicious edible souvenirs from Barcelona.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When we saw our sister company’s blog post about edible souvenirs in Madrid<\/a>, we couldn’t help but do one for Barcelona. Furthermore, as previously stated,\u00a0gourmet<\/em> doesn’t have to mean stuffy. In fact, we like to think of it as just having a really good taste! Check out some of the best edible souvenirs in Barcelona.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Oli Sal<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For: Spanish extra virgin olive oil<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"Gourmet<\/a>\r\n
We love this little olive oil shop in the heart of Gracia.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why?\u00a0<\/strong>Do you know which country produces the most olive oil in the world? When you visit Oli Sal<\/a>, the only extra virgin olive oil specialty shop in the Village of Gracia<\/a>, you won’t be\u00a0surprised to find out it’s Spain. The beautiful olive-green-toned shop is elegantly decorated with their very own products: rows and rows of liquid gold<\/a> as they call it, and something for every taste and budget.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Travessera de Gracia, 170<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Bodega Maestrazgo<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For: Spanish and Catalan wines<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"Bodega\r\n
We love this incredible wine bar and shop in the Born neighborhood of Barcelona!<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why? <\/strong>Founded\u00a0in 1952 this wonderful treasure trove of one of the largest wine selections<\/a> in all of Barcelona. Obviously, they are absolute experts in anything from rioja\u00a0<\/i>to\u00a0priorat, <\/em>and of course the delicious cava<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>If you like what you see, grab a chair in their cozy little wine bar at the back of the shop and enjoy! Choose from a huge selection of delicious wines by the glass and get some delicious gourmet goodies to pair with it! The perfect evening after picking up some of the tastiest edible souvenirs in Barcelona.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Pastisseria Ideal<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For: Traditional\u00a0turr\u00f3n<\/em><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"Turron<\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why?\u00a0<\/strong>One of the things we love the most about classic Spanish bakeries and pastry shops is the fact that they work on a seasonal basis. During different parts of the year, their specialties change, usually following the Catholic calendar. At Christmas time, they stock their glass displays with\u00a0turr\u00f3n,\u00a0<\/em>a delicious nougat bar or cake with almonds or other nuts. This is undoubtedly the go-to sweet of Christmas time here, and you can bet Pastisseria Ideal<\/a>, a pastry shop run by the same family since 1919, knows what’s good in traditional Spanish turr\u00f3n<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Enjoy\r\n
Of course, you can also buy plenty of chocolate treats in markets across the city!<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why?\u00a0<\/strong>Between the dedication to authentic chocolate making sans preservatives, the beautiful design of the shop and the vast selection of everything from unique truffles to sinful chocolate cakes, Cacao Sampaka<\/a> is well-known among locals as experts in what they do. Chocolates are some of the perfect edible souvenirs in Barcelona!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Address:\u00a0<\/strong>Carrer del Consell de Cent, 292<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. La Trobada del Gourmet<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For: Cheese and cured meats<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"This<\/a>\r\n
Who doesn’t love cheese? Especially when it’s Spanish!<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why?<\/strong>\u00a0At first glance, la Trobada del Gourmet<\/a> may seem nothing more than your regular cheese and meat stall. However, the ladies who run the show at this corner booth in the Mercat de l’Abaceria Central have some of the widest selections of Catalan, Spanish and European cheeses, as well as every type of Spanish cured meat you could imagine, from\u00a0fuet\u00a0<\/em>to\u00a0jam\u00f3n iberico.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
