The Experience, Alameda: Alameda Natural Grocery Culinary Gems

The Experience:

Put some sizzle in your olive oil!

This Sizzle olive oil is made from 100% Picual olives from Jaen, Spain. Graza brings the pure, unblended taste of Andalusia to your table. While many conventional olive oils are blended, and far from fresh, Graza excels due to its purity, precision and simplicity. Plus, these come in  handy squeeze-bottles for easy use both cooking and finishing dishes off. Check it out and then look for your lettuces for the delicious salad you’ll make topped with your new taste of Andalusia.

Shopping here you will find fresh, farm-direct, seasonal, local and organic produce, hard-to-find special diet foods, green home goods, locally produced artisan foods, clean & chemical-free cosmetics and real supplements.

All animal products sold at Alameda Natural Grocery come from producers who are committed to raising their animals in humane standards, and that provide their goods in the way nature intended.

Want good food? Go no further.

After shopping you have the whole rest of the Alameda Marketplace to explore. It’s home to 10 local eateries. There’s a vast selection of artisanal cheeses and wines, grass fed beef, hand-made pastries, fresh gourmet to-go, house-roasted coffees, made-to-order sushi, upscale dining and more. All conveniently located under one roof. Start at the Alameda Natural Grocery. You will be glad you did.
