      Hmm, that’s a tough one. Try ‘La Choza’ dairy products, they have them at El Galpon organic market. I also like the plain flavor of the yogurt that comes in the little glass jars at the supermarket.

    What about olive oil? I know you’ve included some places that also sell olive oil, but what about an olive oil shrine a la mendoza biking wine tour? I’m sure you already know about it, but just in case: Quetec. It has laughably low prices and delicious fixins’ to go with. I’m tempted to stop by after work for some free samples…

    All the details here! http://frugalbuenosaires.wordpress.com/2012/10/17/country-olive-oil-in-the-big-city/

        Just visiting BA and looking for an excellent Uruguayan olive oil I tasted at an excellent new restaurant here (L’Osteria)…which of the shops in your big list might have a good chance of stocking such an item?
        From what I could gather from the Quetec website they only sell their own products?

    Thank you a million times over for this list.My favorite find so far is Mercado del Progreso which I doubt I would have discovered on my own. It reminds me of a way scaled down version of Reading Terminal Market in Philly. The amount of beef there is overwhelming but I love having options so I can always find those hard to get cuts. Also in response to your feta comment, two different stands there have goats milk feta. I tried a local one, from Cordoba I believe, and though it started out a bit too dry, soaking it in some brine did the trick. Thanks again for the advice and I’ll continue to be a avid follower!

    For BA’s most inexpensive and freshest seafood, try Mellino, on Rojas 11 (Caballito, not far from “El Progreso”. Salmon is AR$54, as opposed to $70-85 on Arribeños. They import it themselves from Norway and Chile (one week each, or so they claim). Plus, if you’re on their mailing list, they have really good specials on Saturdays. It’s set on a municipal market, and the rest of the stores I’ve checked out so far share the same qualities. Definitely worth the trip once a week.

    Great list!! Thanks a lot!!
    I’ve been trying different organic places for a while, and I still believe the best is El Rincón Orgánico.
    Did you like El Galpón’s Feta, I found it… unfeta. Texture and flavour weren’t right for me. But La Choza’s (at Rincón and Gapón) organic milk and yogurt are excelentes!

    • forkyou says

      February 26, 2012 at 12:17 pm

      I agree about the Feta, it wasn’t like normal feta, the texture was a lot like firm tofu and the actual cheese a bit salty…but it tasted pretty good when mixed with other things (I made a grilled chicken greek salad). I’ll have to try La Choza’s products, thanks!

    What an amazing list – I only wish I had this when I arrived to Argentina :) Have you ever checked out the fiambre place on the corner of Arévalo and Santa Fe? I discovered it in my last week or so in BA and it could be because I have an extremely unsophisticated palate (or that BA has completely lowered my food expectations), but I thought they had a really good selection of fiambres, including turkeyyy. Also, lots of good cheeses, including a picada especial, all herbed and olive oiled up to pop in yo mouth. If somehow you haven’t checked it out yet I highly recommend it!

        Yes, it’s tentacles! (I’m a leg man though.)

    Out of all the fish markets, which one would you recommend most for sushi in terms of price-quality ? On the medium end for us with thinner wallets.

      Fish and Seafood are generally expensive, but Barrio Chino is your best bet, very fresh and you can find some good deals. Solo Pescados and Sashimi are also solid options

    You’re like a national treasure. And ex-pat treasure, if you will.

    I looooooove the unnamed greengrocer’s in Paraguay (I live just across the street from it). The one on Carranza and Charcas (just around the corner from it) is really good too. Way too crowded most of the time, though…Thanks for the list, it’s really useful! And oh, I miss those days when I lived in Vicente López when I’d get those yummy medialunas de grasa from La Vicente López for breakfast after a long night out…

      I always used to go to the one on Carranza and Charcas when I lived in that area, miss it a lot actually. Never even noticed the one of Paraguay, I’m ashamed to say!
