Thanks for such a descriptive and well-filmed video. I’m an American based in Milan now for over five years and it’s true that Italy spoils you with the quality of its food. From bread to fresh produce to meats, cheeses, and wines it is hard to beat. The major supermarkets like Conad, Carrefour, Coop, Esselunga, and Iper have now made grocery shopping am experience unto itself, even to the point of having a caffè bar or eatery incorporated into the property. I also like how in Italy people tend to make a mini-shop each day for things like bread and produce to get the most out of the season and fresh products.
Ma prima era pieno di piccoli negozi alimentari e poche persone andavano al supermercato.ota sta prevalendo questa cosa dei grandi supermercati,stile americano
@@ledatufarulo7316 “ora sta prevalendo” cosa significa? I supermercati li abbiamo da trent’anni, forse anche di più, e hanno gli stessi prodotti freschi dei negozietti di evasori fiscali che negli anni ‘90 ti truffavano senza rilasciarti uno scontrino.
@@RozierRoma Personally i don't love mortadella by itself but if you try it in a panino with 2 or 3 drops of lemon juice is very good^^ And mortadella is very good for cooking (for example minced in polpette or in polpettone)
@@RozierRomaI'm not a big fan of mortadella either, but when I ate the artisanal one they sell in the historic center of Bologna, I immediately changed my mind. It was better than prosciutto!
Totally wrong. Today, mortadella and Bologna are widely spoken of. The two terms are in fact used as synonyms, one in place of the other, but technically they designate two different products. The cured meat called Bologna today coincides with Mortadella di Bologna PGI, a cooked sausage obtained according to the rules of the production specification. The term mortadella, therefore, refers to all other mortadellas that do not have the PGI mark, which are certainly not of lower quality - as the excellence of Mortadella Menatti attests - but simply do not comply with some of the stringent requirements imposed by the Bologna PGI specification, such as the minimum percentage of fat in each slice equal to 15% or the use of specific cuts of pork (the fat in the lardons must be exclusively pork throat fat).
What you have called "toast" is not exactly toasted bread. It's light sweet and even if it's used like toasts with jam and butter at breakfast (not often), they are different. They are healthier than biscuits.
Non so in che stato o città vivi, ma a Philadelphia trovavo di tutto, certo quello di importazione dall’Italia era abbastanza caro.

I vegetali, giranado tra Shop Rite, ACME, MoM e Whole Foods si riesce a non variare troppo la alimentazione dall’Italia. Certo bisogna avere la pazienza ed il tempo di visitare più punti, anche perché spesso l’offerta dipende anche dal manager del supermercato in funzione dell’acquirente medio della zona. Inoltre andavo nei farm shops in New Jersey o nell’area di Lancaster. Anche in Italia tanti supermercati propongono i famosi pomodori olandesi.
The produce in Italy is so amazing, I miss the strawberries especially. I am surprised they let you film in the store and some people looked like they did not want to be filmed.
Funny observation. I was in the store four or five times filming and no one seem to care but you’re right some people for whatever reason don’t want to be on camera.
@@RozierRoma because you have to ask for permission to film people on private premises in Italy ... why should I end up on the internet because somebody else filmed me while I was grocery shopping? Privacy is strictly regulated in the EU
Fun fact..it's called pineapple only by English speaking countries, in all the rest of the world the name is Ananas, hence the weird name seems to be pineapple
The crunchy bread at 7:48 are friselle. You have to soak them in water, then squeeze the water out, add tomatoes, basil, onion and olive oil and you have a bread based salad. Originating in fisher's meals, they soaked them in sea water.
@@RozierRoma They taste really good. 'Bready' with a soft interior and crunchy shell, and with tomatoes crushed on top it tastes it's even better. Just don't use seawater if you don't want to get gonorrea or something similar
@@gabrielefordinisonni5264 Curious how is the shell crunchy when it has been soaked in water? I am going to try I just want to make sure I prepare it correctly.
@@RozierRoma @RozierRoma friselle are baked shaped as doughnuts or flat loafs, then cut in two longitudinally and cooked again. You just slowly pour tap or mineral water over the interior portion of the bread until you reach the desired consistency, then rub fresh tomatoes (even better, pomodorini) on the bread. Oil and bails as you like, and you're good. The outer shell stays crunchy because it's bread crust that has been cooked twice. It needs much more water to become soft compared to the crumb As you might have guessed, friselle are mostly a summer staple, but they're very versatile food. One of my favourites is Pecorino and carciofo
@@RozierRomathe griselle are not soaked for too long. You pour water over them in a plate and let them soak for about 3 minutes. Then pour the water out. Don't touch them just cut up tomatoes, garlic, basil extra vergine olive oil, salt and pepper. And enjoy. The inside is nice and fluffy but the outside is slightly soft and crunchy. The ultimate summer meal!😀
The McDonalds food photographer deserves an award for taking such great pictures. Those photos made the food look like they taste way better than reality. A real pro indeed!
Loved seeing an Italian grocery store! The pineapple cutter was quite unique....So I wonder if all the food in Italy is organic, or just at this grocery store?
Not everything Is organic, but the laws about chemicals usage in agriculture and farming are so much stricter that the US ones, that the actual difference between organic and non organic products is greatly reduced. Then, theres the actual organic food category, which translates as "biologico", or "biological"
Fun fact people buying vegs and fruit in supermarket in Italy are not the majority, in the cities is common, in countryside people use to self grow into their gardens vegs and fruit almost 100% organic, or goes to local market.
Non è pane tostato! si chiamano fette biscottate e sono simili a un biscotto ma con molto meno zucchero in modo da poterli usare, per colazione, con burro e marmellata è un classico in Italia.
Fyi - dont act so american😂. ananas is a common name for pineapple in most western and possibly many other languages as well. The English alternative is the unusual one. Same goes for egg count etc.
Well in it's native home of South America, I've never seen or heard to referred to it as ananas. It's always called piña -- which makes sense giving the very popular piña colada Derivatives of piña are actually common used in a lot of countries across the world so you're not just sounding American.
@@avalanche84sakic here you go: The pineapple is indigenous to South America, specifically believed to have originated in the area of present-day Brazil and Paraguay. It was cultivated by the native tribes for food and medicinal purposes. The indigenous Tupí people of South America called the pineapple “ananas”, which means "excellent fruit". This term is still used in many languages today. However, when Christopher Columbus encountered the fruit, he named it “piña de Indes” (little pine of the Indians) due to its resemblance to a pinecone. This term evolved into “piña” in Spanish and “pineapple” in English.
@@RozierRoma that's a common mistake, original carbonara recipe involves guanciale and pecorino romano 🥸 btw of course you're free to make your carbonara as you like 😋 someone adds onion and heavy cream too! 😱
Great video - thank you! What a fantastic store this is. I would love to see you do a video of Eataly too one day. In Indonesian, pineapple is nanas. Similar.
You are in italy and you buy premade sauces and packed meat cuts? Boy, make your sauce from scratch and buy fresh salame and prosciutto from the deli! 😂
It's really a wonder why even Italans like to get bottled water, instead of using the water comes from tap. Many times it is actually just the same, but bottle is always nice to have? Kind of "product". Was there anybody in mcdonads?
McDonalds here is popular and nothing like in the states. Much, much better with many more items and even healthy options. Not sure why it is better here, kinda unbelievable really.
@@RozierRoma Kind of unbelieveble there is somebody there! In Rome there is "tripadvisor" ht pizza place, and there is no Italians. I was in neigbour 3 montsh and anways only tourists filling the place. But, why travel to Italy to get some burger? Or that coffee "to go"? Have to admit I have been inside mac, both Rome and Milan as: the toilets are ok. ;-)
Conad is a popular chainb of stores in Rome, this one is especially nice as it is newer but located on the outskirts of Rome. kinda hard to get to without a can.
This guy must not have gotten around much in the U.S. Thinks Trader Joe's is the benchmark of supermarkets, never heard of mortadella, and never went to a supermarket that had a cart deposit.
Trader joe's is the best supermarket in the US for the price but a nice Italian Supermarket is so much better in almost every way than any market I have been to in the stated. Have you ever tried to park with a shopping cart in the way? They do not have that problem in Italy and the carts do not end up at some distant abandoned building.
I thought they were the ones that chased you down to put your cart back. In Italy, they’re called Sofia’s. Actually, I wonder if they have an equivalent of a Karen in Italy?

Admittedly the Americans could learn a thing or two about quality food here in Italy.
You think! The food in America is killing us
Packaged eggs in Italy can come in packages of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or even 3 dozens.
I usually see small and 10 being the larger size of eggs where I shop
The store looks great. Thanks.
It had great selection and most thing were much smaller size than in US. Overall the food is much healthier than we have in the states
When in Italy I used to go to this giant store called IPER and it reminded me of an upscale Walmart store.
I have been in only 1 IPER store. It did seem nice but not close to where I stay unfortunately.
