Gourmet products local specialties and wines Prades

Tuesday is the day of the traditional big market in Prades and Saturday is the day of the organic market, both of which take place on the Place de la République surrounded by cafés and terraces. This charming town, located at the foot of the sacred mountain of the Catalans, welcomes every week many traders, producers and craftsmen who are delighted to be able to present and offer their local products to a clientele that is now very loyal. True places of life, the markets are the soul of our villages that many tourists envy us.

In the heart of the little town of Prades, a butchery/butchery will attract your attention. Beautiful hams presented on display will bring you to the inside of the room. You can see that the benefits offered by Cédric Capalita are numerous. Between a wide range of products, you can choose between Catalan homemade charcuterie, meat or white ham… And for those who do not want to cook, due to lack of time or envy, you will always have the opportunity to choose between various cooked dishes. paella, zarzuela, boles boles, cod to Catalan are prepared with love. The Pradéens are always loyal to their butcher and holidaymakers take pleasure in discovering the little wonders that the latter prepares.

The tasting chocolates are simply exquisite! To make them sublime, Mr. Torres chooses his raw materials with a meticulousness that forces admiration: Valencia almonds or Piedmont hazelnuts to make the pralines; seven forms of pralines, each more surprising than the next! Don't be mistaken, the mixtures of flavours for the macaroons are just as original: pepper-raspberry-Espelette pepper, Maury-raisin, peach-saffron... This former pastry chef, converted into a chocolate maker, will convince even the most conformist.

The temple of Catalan specialities! Sylvain Hénoc, trained at the Ferrandi School, offers you the creations made from the laboratory adjacent to the shop. You will find the unavoidable Catalan Turrón made of honey, sugar and dried fruits, but also the Rousquilles with lemon and vanilla as well as the Panaillets, small balls of marzipan with pine nuts. Two other specialities are to be discovered: bougnettes and Toledo Bread, as well as classic pastries.
