MONTALCINO
GROCERIES
& FRUIT SHOP
Food,
Glorious Food!
Remember
the times when we had corner grocers who stocked produce in hessian bags
and tins with lids, sliced your ham while you watched and cut the bread
loaf in half if you didn’t want it all? And fruit shops that stacked
wooden trays of mandarins against the wall and sold dried peas, sultanas
and dates by the weight?
We’ve
still got them in Montalcino – here are just a couple!
Alimentari
Parisi 
At an alimentari you can buy everything you need for your picnic in the
Tuscan hills, or that lazy afternoon gazing over the surrounding valleys
from your terrace. Velia and Antonio carry a terrific range of local
produce like Montalcino’s own Olive Oil and Honey, salami, prosciutto
and cheeses, crusty Tuscan bread, olives and anchovies, and of course
sweet treats like jars of hazelnuts in honey.

Mazzini 73. Tel. 0577 848 097.
Frutta
e Verdura
Besides all the freshest fruit and vegetables in season in Italy right
now, you’ll delight at the sacks of spices, jars of nuts, bags of dried
herbs, trays of fresh dates and bottles of glazed ginger and pineapple.
Here you'll find an amazing range of oriental produce too – in case you
desperately need a simple stir-fry to stop you over indulging in the
delicious Tuscan cuisine.
