The best grocery stores Brazil

The Emporio Santo Antonio appears as a magical grocery store for lovers of spices and regional products. Right in the heart of the historic old town, the Emporio is a "delicatessen" offering many local handicrafts: vegetable preserves, doce de leite (a kind of milk-based spread), bananada and goiabada (fruit pastes made from banana and guava), liqueurs, including the famous cachaça. There are always good gift ideas, from local dried fruits to spice oils.

Well, it's not the most glamorous address in Salvador, since the shops and cafés are in the Barra and Graça shopping areas, but it's a good place to go if you're feeling peckish or if you want to buy food. The Perini is also a delicatessen that has been open for almost 50 years. In the Barra shop, in addition to gourmet products (cold cuts, cheeses, wines...), there is a wide range of snacks and cakes to be enjoyed on the spot with a cafezinho . We come here for the quality of the products.
