La Tienda, Continued

As mentioned before I went to the La Tienda store on Thursday. There was no one in the shop but I waited until I'd had time to look around before following the instructions next to the bell that would call someone down from upstairs. I figured they didn't need to see me oohing and aahing over jars of olives, tins of tuna, and bottles of saffron.

The shop pretty much lays out the products you see online. There's a refrigerator for their many varieties of cheese, sausages, and those luscious slices of Iberico ham and lots of shelving for the other items. All of the paella pans are on display as is their wood, glass, and ceramic tableware.

Despite slavering a bit over the ham I managed to control myself and came away with just the items pictured here: 'Bonito del Norte' Tuna in Olive Oil by Arroyabe, sweet olive oil tortas, Magdalenas Breakfast Muffins, a jar of Nocilla 'Duo' Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, and a jar of Mousse de Pimientos del Piquillo which would be delicious with the savory type of olive oil tortas. I really should've gotten some sausage. And I'd like to try some of their smoky paprika. Guess that means another visit is in order!

If you're not in the Williamsburg area you can still get all these things and more at La Tienda online.
