The best grocery stores Var

The little biscuitier here is Romain! A former pastry chef at Le Petit Nice (with 3 stars to his name), he chose the pretty Rue des Arts to set up shop in 2017 and treat Toulonnais and visiting tourists alike to his homemade tuiles, ice creams, diamonds, chocolates and other marshmallows. Everything is made in the traditional way, and the ingredients are chosen with the utmost care. You can sample them as you stroll the streets of Toulon, order a boxed set to give as a gift, or indulge in a few savory aperitif cookies, crackers or breadsticks.

As its name indicates, here it's all about flavors, those of the Mediterranean. Since 1965, Soléou has been making the kitchen sing with its subtle blends of olive oil, rapeseed oil and nuts. The condiments are aromatic and the spreads tasty. We love the "Caractère" organic olive oil, the special wok and pizza oils, and the old-fashioned mustard with candied fruits and honey that melts on white meats.

The colourful and fragrant den of Sylvana Forte and Rémy abounds with spices from all over the world, salt pyramids of all colours, delicate teas. Intoxicating!

Patrick and Sylvie's delicatessen shop is also a veritable Ali Baba's cave of Provençal specialities. You will find a range of preserves made from Solliès figs - various jams, candied figs, compote, coulis, chutney, sweet and sour figs -, natural preserves, jams and marmalades, tapenade, olivade, poichichade, fenouillade, aubergine caviar, black truffles bought directly from the producers in the village, wine vinegar with garrigue plants and a fine selection of olive oils.

Saffron has a rare flavor. A fragile and precious plant that must be used with care in the kitchen. You will find here this red gold, coming from the family exploitation of Vinon-sur-Verdon. Expert advice and a whole range of derived products like a famous saffron beer. In this pretty and luminous store, you will find wellness products, home fragrances, gourmet and regional products. A nice shopping stop.

Short circuits, hello! Hélène and André Sabatier, organic wine and olive oil producers since 2000, created this beautiful Maison de Pays association to honor the producers and the know-how of the surrounding villages. Today, it is their son Arnaud who has taken over the reins of the domain, and the passion remains. In addition to the wines in the three colors, the Maison de Pays offers local crafts and organic products.

Bianca's desire to return to her family's passion for cheese (her grandmother was a cheese maker in Corsica) led her to embark on this wonderful adventure. With humility and a lot of rigor, the Casa Nostra grocery store travels to producers on the island of Beauty, in Italy and in Provence, to find exceptional products: Brie with truffles, local farm goats, goat and sheep tomatoes, burrata from Puglia, the list is long. One also comes for the Corsican pork-butchery, jams, olive oil, pasta, cakes, wines and liqueurs. A beautiful gourmet address.
