Exotic delicatessens Paris 14th 75014

For over 20 years, La Maison de la Pâte has been transporting you to the flavours of the South, in the country of the sun. From Provence to Italy, we discover the gastronomy products at midday. Sausages, wines, pasta, olive oils… Some products like the coming olives, the spreading of Nice and especially the olive oil Alziari, made at Nice are recognised references worldwide. As for Italian products, they are not yet: very fresh antispati, cheeses, meats, groceries with olive oils, wines, balsamic vinegar, tuna, tomato sauces and pasta - ravioli is excellent!

Before being an Iberian landmark of the 14th century, El Bierzo is a region of the autonomous community of Castilla y León. It is therefore also a gourmet triptych: a delicatessen, a restaurant and a grocery store. No need to cross the Pyrenees! The first one is an inexhaustible source of hams, chorizos, morcilla (a kind of black pudding), cecina... In the bodega-grocery store, a few steps away, you can order a paella (to eat in or take away) or tapas. Before leaving, a look at the grocery products (wines, oils...) is a must.

Cédric Casanova has a passion he inherited from his Sicilian grandmother: he has a passion for virgin olive oil. Lager, amber, virgins etc. are available in his shop. This Casanova fell in love with olive oils and became the official supplier to great Parisian restaurants. Like an oenologist, Cédric discovers in each specific intonation he tries hard to make one discover. On the shelves, one notices vat with names unusual for this type of product: Bianca, Felicia, Katia, Francesco, mostly first names and all are protected by a statuette from Madone. Each is named after the original producer. You will also find a selection of Sicilian products and good deals with friends; this grocery also offers a table for six guests upon reservation. You can take away; tuna, dried tomatoes, salted capers and other products from the picking of wild aromatic, cheese and olives.

Previously, the full name of this store was Pelops Epirus. A bit of history... Pelops, son of Tantalus and Euryanassa, is originally from Asia Minor from where he emigrated to Greece. In his youth, his father served him as a dish to the gods of Olympus to test their clairvoyance. But none of them were mistaken, except Demeter who ate his shoulder. Vassilios Moutevelis tells this story with pleasure. From Greece, he imports many delicacies, wines and spirits. On the menu, a large choice of starters (tarama, ktipiti...), dishes (moussaka, meatballs with herbs...) and desserts partly made on the spot and to be tasted at home or on the terrace when the weather is fine.
