The best grocery stores Corsica

A real institution in Calvi, Annie Traiteur is the fruit of a family project born in 1992. Initially at the head of the shop, Annie and her husband passed on their know-how to their daughter to take over and transform it into a fine grocery store, neat and of quality. Thus, tourists and locals rush there to find all the flavours of the Corsican soil. In the delicatessen section, you can try the antipasti savoury tarts or the Corsican veal sauté. On the grocery side, the shop offers a wide range of carefully selected local products.

After spending three years in her uncle's laboratory, Laurine Serra took over the business to turn it into a reference point, dedicated to Cervione hazelnuts. Here, hazelnuts are transformed into sweet (spreads, honey and hazelnut delicacies, hazelnut cream, etc.) and savory (hazelnut flour, hazelnut oil, etc.) dishes. Salinu is the star of the store and is sold all over the island. It's a condiment made from salt (10%) and hazelnuts (90%), ideal for salads and soups. A Corsican must-have!
