Does anyone know a good shop I SDC where they have local cheeses, hams and other delicacies to take home?
Thank you very much!El Cortes Ingles in Santiago. A quality department store chain Portugal and Spain and supermercado. "A food and wine boutique." Rua Restollal 50.
Thanks you very much - appreciated!The place to go to is the Mercado de Abastos.
On our recent Camino we bought a decent amount of chorizo and jamon. Also cheeses available.
Different stalls. I always follow the locals and see which stall / seller they prefer.

I think that in most supers in Galicia you have Arzua - Ulloa and Tetilla. Less frequent are San Simon ( smoked) and Cebreiro ( fresh). All of them are made with cow milk. Those are the four " denominaciones de origen" for Galician cheeses.
Check out the Abastos market. I've gotten cheese I've purchased there through Customs. Depends on city you fly back into, though.Does anyone know a good shop I SDC where they have local cheeses, hams and other delicacies to take home?
Mercado de Abastos is definitely the place to go. It is a beautiful group of buildings with an enormous range of cheeses , meats, fish, bread and other things. The stall holders are very friendly and happy to help.The place to go to is the Mercado de Abastos.

I love the artisan cheeses of
Manxares da Chaira S.L., 27 Rua de Caldeireria
right in the old town centre. Lovely people too.
I' am Galician and didn' t know that legend. At the end of the article there is a photo of San Simon da Costa cheeses. Despite its name it is not produced somewhere on the coast. Its production area includes places like Abadín, Vilalba and Baamonde ( Begonte) on Camino del Norte.Well, if in Galicia, and looking for cheese, it has to be Queso Tetilla ....
The Story of Spain’s Boob-shaped Cheese
There is a walking trail across northern Spain called The Camino de Santiago. (The Camino was recently made famous in a movie starring Martin Sheen titled, The Way). For over a thousand years, pilg…thewholeworldismyhome.wordpress.com
No, sorry I don' t know that shop. I visited Arzua only a couple of times in my life. When I visit my homealdea ( not far from Betanzos) I always buy fresh cheese with no brand in a farm near. I like that cheese made of milk from Frisian cows only because it has less fat.I’m hoping @Pelegrin might know the shop and whether it’s still in existence.
Ah, the memory cogs just moved; it was called Casa de Queso.
Very good agree.Try Victoria. They have good stuff though I have not bought cheese

I have brought cheese, ham & choriso from Spain to Norway (Tromsø) many times. No problem. Try to get it vacuumed though.Does anyone know a good shop I SDC where they have local cheeses, hams and other delicacies to take home?
The Mercado for cheeses, if traveling to the USA you are not allowed to bring in meat products or fruit. They will be confiscated, cheese is ok.Does anyone know a good shop I SDC where they have local cheeses, hams and other delicacies to take home?
