Good morning guys welcome, Josh here, Vicky is behind the camera,
and we're going to show you today one of Spain's biggest grocery stores. Okay
so as you see here, we're at Carrefour here at el Saler mall. So directly behind me
is the City of Arts and Sciences. But we have to be a little bit low-key, so we do apologize for the
audio. We don't know if we're going to get kicked out or not, so we're filming this on a phone with
no microphone. So let's head inside of el Saler mall and show you guys the Carrefour let's go.
So so guys Spain is the largest producer
and consumer of olive oil in the entire world. This is an entire row of just olive oil.
If you want a giant jug, there is a giant jug. You're gonna have some, lots of tomato
products Spaniards love tomato. You also have your normal things like Heinz tomato ketchup
just in case you're wondering yes they have it. Here lots of other salsas Ken's Ranch it's here
guys, don't worry your ranch fix is done. Frank's Red Hot sauce got it. All kinds of Tabasco sauces ,
barbecue sauces from the US. Sweet Baby Ray's. These things are good this is the Hilda.
It has olives, peppers and anchovies all on a little tiny cute skewer delicious! This
is the aisle of can fish, it's the isle of canned fish of your dreams, look at all this canned fish.
So it's not just the fresh seafood canned seafood here is huge. So you see this
whole aisle of the seafood is in a can. I like these sardines in a can they're actually quite tasty.
Yeah oh, so this is called uh just see if you have like different marinade con tomate
and then olive oil.
and the mussels so it's called an escabeche those are kind of like in sauce but these
are actually pretty popular, um as a tapas or with uh vermouth or different things so they're
actually really tasty. There's a little clam berberechos.
i can go on and on there are so many. It's a razor clam.
And the price is from very low from like one euro or two euros goes up to a very expensive depending
on the quality. So everywhere you see this sign it means it's made right here in Valencia. So here in
this bio aisle everything is organic. Here so you have everything from organic apple cider vinegar
to organic coconut oil. Some tofu. If you're vegetarian there are some good options here.
i like to drink this at night. Even organic coffee pods. If you have an espresso which is
pretty common here, they have a capsules like an organic. These are actually biodegradable so
better for the environment. So paella is from Valencia here in Valencia we grow
rice so you don't need to search it from anywhere else in the world it's right here.
This is grown right here in Valencia very cheap 1,35 for a big pack of rice it's really good stuff.
Like right here, hell, you have a whole paella pan guys look whole paella pan, it says it six euro.
Boom make your own paella. And after you buy the paella kit there is broth for it.
Just make things easy there is even a jamon broth. This is SPAM
so apis maguro spam. Yeah you won't find the actual spam brand here. You can at like the
American grocery store but it's like if you want to pay to triple the price, that's like
10 euros for like one can of spam, so just buy this it's it's 225. So the most of the beans
in the states uh they come in the can, here it's mostly in the jar so first we're like
why is everything in this jar but they're different. So you see all kinds of variety here.
Here we have tons of American cereal brands all right plenty of Kellogg's Rice Krispies,
Cocoa Krispies, Fruit Loops, regular Rice Krispies. iI's Corn Flakes, Smacks.
One of the biggest differences between the American cereals and the European cereals,
which these are made in Europe is a lot less sugar, and they don't really have many of the
additives that US cereals have so they don't taste exactly like a u.s branded cereal but
i think they're a little bit healthier for you. If you really want American products American cereals
there is an American grocery store here that has imported products from America if you so choose.
So fruit loops no artificial colors no artificial flavors. Ingredients here the first ingredient is
flour, sugar and then actually has concentrates radish, apple, blackcurrant, carrot, cherry so um you
don't see bht. For those of you love oatmeal, i do um they're a little bit different here. Seems like
these quick oats what we call it, the microwavable ones are way more common here. In this store
because i have the more selection you can find these old-fashioned kind of like bigger ones like
like this one. But this is not that common some other stores in Spain you won't find it at all.
Donuts in Spain glazed, crunchy chocolate. All right, Asian food section it's very tiny, just this.
And my recommendation to you if you want to buy Asian food ingredients don't buy here, you can go
to Hiper Asia. There's another huge like Chinese store carries the Korean and other Asian products
that's your best bet not here. We are in Mexico! As you can see this is exciting! We have plenty of
the spiciest thing in Spain nacho jalapenos! Black beans. tortillas you have corn tortillas
and flour tortillas.
Lots of chips.
The salsas here are sweet they are not spicy they are sweet. A couple hot sauces they have here
Valentina and they also have Tajin. In case you need that on your margaritas!
Churro chocolate. So this chocolate is actually from Valencia and this was actually liquid you
can just pour it and heat it. Captain Manny, he's your peanut butter hero. More Nespresso capsules.
In the US as far as i know there are no generic other brands of Nespresso capsule if you want the
Nespresso capsule you have to buy from Nespresso. Here there's so many different brands you can buy.
We are at the jamon section i think this one is 100 Iberico
it's 349 euros.
The price difference is crazy.
so you can purchase all these pre-cut ones. Price range is so different so depending on what kind
of jamon it is this one is 12.95 one right next to it it's 519. And all kinds of chorizo.
Free range eggs.
So this it's a good pepper. Spicy.
For your next tapas party.
Although not necessarily recommended, they do have pre-made food. Giant pigskin and the little bucket
of bacalao skin. Bagels. 1,95 for four bagels guys here from Valencia.
Four avocados 2 euros.
We're at the wine aisle. Wine selection is huge here guys as you see it's two whole rows of wine.
But this section here is all Valencian wine, so it goes from here all the way over
to here, all from Valencia. But when you want to talk about cheap wine let's see
the cheapest thing we could find. So this one's from let's see a medium sweet watch out if you
don't like sweet wine because it's a lot of sweet wine. 1,79 for an entire bottle .1,65
1,65 for a whole bottle of wine. So guys even though it's 1,65 you don't have to buy the cheapest wine.
You can get really good quality wines here for five, six euros so that would be my recommendation.
Buy something in the mid-range and you're going to be really happy with what you get. They're
Rioja wine one of the biggest wine producing regions in northern Spain. So as you can see
it is the biggest section here the wine's from Rioja. We're gonna go all the way down here.
Here's where they stop. So as you can see in the biggest section out of all the other
regions. So when you go out for dinner or tapas, they're going to ask you typically either Rioja
or Ribera wine which one you want it. So that's these two are going to be where you will see
the most common here. Vermouth.
Special Reserve.
We have White and Red.
Whiskey.
So we have Cava guys. Cava these are from Valencia.
Cava tastes pretty similar. Champagne's better but Cavas not bad.
Gin. Gin and tonic is very beloved drink here in Spain. So this is one of the good
selection it's a Spanish gin they're a little bit pricey but
they're a nice gin. You have this one, it's a pretty good selection.
Cerveza. We have a you guys are really craving budweiser they have it these are all going to be um beers

Amstel. The most common beer. Estrella Galicia. This one's from Madrid yep yeah
Turia this is Valencian beer. From Valencia.
They love this stuff here desperados it tastes like tequila and beer. Yequila flavored beer.
The lemon beer people love that here. I know hard seltzer is pretty common in the us but here is not
it just came out. And then this is the uh these are made right here in Valencia so Tyris
it's a brewer right here on valencia you have a couple different tyrus beers.
Tyris also has a tap house in downtown. UHT milk is huge here so as you see this entire
aisle is full ultra high processed milk shelf stable.
And then you have the fresh milk it is organic though some of it is organic so
this is your fresh milk section guys get used to milk one of these.
This country loves jamon ham and cheese chips so your cam is just the regular
