La Espanola Meats, Inc.
- This is a Spanish owned / operated firm in Harbor City, CA. I believe their main business is wholesale but they do have a nice little retail store and more recently website. They produce their own meats in addition to importing others. Good selection and friendly people. Get your X-mas turron ordres in early while supply / freshness is still good.

Spanish Food Online
- I shop for my Spanish ingredients online at www.HotPaella.com. They carry a good selection of Spanish ingredients, meats, cheeses, kitchen equipment, etc. and I've been very happy with their service.

Spanish markets in Tampa
- My family has been in Tampa since 1870 immigrating from Spain with the start of the Cigar industry by the Spanish, Italians, & Cubans in the Latin section of Tampa called Ybor City. We have numerous spanish markets and also Vigo-Alessi (http://www.vigo-alessi.com/) importers.

We have the spices here, but no sofrito
- I live in south africa. so there are all kinds of spices especially coriander and saffron - thankfully, we live on the Mozambiquan border so we get a lot of Portuguese influences which we adapt for our own benefit. When I couldn't get a lot of ready-made spice mixes we started growing our own however, there are no goya products over here! Missing adobo, sazon and sofrito ready made!

A couple great ones in the SF Bay Area
- If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, I recommend The Spanish Table (Mill Valley & Berkeley) and The Rock of Gibraltar Comestibles (Menlo Park next to the fabulous Iberia Restaurant; same owner). Of course, I buy from La Tienda as well - I really enjoy their website and newsletter.

Local Grocery Stores
- I have a large Latin American community where I live. Those foods can be found at most grocery stores. As much of Latin American cuisine came from Spain, many of the ingredients are the same.

Not Much...
- Italy is insular, and we don't have much in the way of Spanish ingredients. But there are some in the mostly Oriental markets that cater to immigrants.

Spanish Rocks in the UK
- Buying Spanish foods is relatively easy here in the UK probably becasue of the proximity to Spain and also the British love of all things Spanish. Even 'goo' supermarkets carry a respectable range.

Red Star, Korean Market in Sacramento
- We visit Red Star, a very small Korean market in Sacramento, CA and buy authentic Spanish chorizo imported from Spain!

Major chain stores!
- I find that the major chain stores, like Cub Foods or Costco are carrying more and more international foods. I have no problem finding chorizo or paprika in those stores, and can find serrano ham near the holidays.

latin american grocery stores
- since South America's cuisine has been heavily influenced by Spain, neighborhood markets catering to the Latin American market will often have many of the same ingredients...
