Gaucho Gourmet

When you first walk into the almost cozy warehouse space of Gaucho Gourmet, located near the airport in San Antonio, it's hard to get your bearings. Along one wall are boxes of the finest chocolate, while another is lined with a superb variety of Yerba Mate tea. Evidently, they tout the largest selection of Yerba mate tea in the entire country. Their other offerings include nuts, oils, olives, chocolates, cookies, pasta, rice, pate, seafood, cheese, chimichurri, chorizo sausage, coffee, jams, honey, antipasti, beans, lentils, condiments, spices, salts, cured meats, extracts, flours, the list goes on! They even sell items such as coffee makers and tableware. All of these specialty goods come from various places around the world, in particular, Italy, Spain and Argentina. This unique market is largely a distributor to restaurants wishing to use these high-end ingredients, but they happily sell to anyone and everyone wishing to come in and explore this amazing cornucopia.
