Where can I get spanish chorizo near pacifica?

[ronsoman]

As topic says, I don't mind something like a 20 minute drive to daly city or san bruno. But I would prefer not to have to go out to the city unless I have to.

The Wine and Cheese shop in Half moon Bay has the spanish chorizo-its on main street.

i have seen it at Pac-n-save in south san francisco near the mexican cheeses

I found Fra Mani chorizo at Whole Foods in Oakland. Perhaps the San Mateo store?

I didn't realize Fra'Mani's salametto picante was Spanish-style, though now that I think about it, it is. They've got a store locator:

The sell them at Whole foods (look / ask in the cheese section not the meat counter - very expensive however) Also, if you go to Schwatz Sauge in SF the sell them in 5lbs bags. http://www.yelp.com/biz/schwarz-sausage-san-francisco

You might also try calling http://www.patioespanol.com/

finally, there was threat about it here a while back....

Thanks for the link to the other topic, google didn't show that one for me, but another S.F area related one. However S.F is still about a 30 minute drive out, I was hoping for a closer alternative if possible that's all.

whole foods would likely be your best bet. Strange spanish food is so prevalent now but getting Spanish charizo here is difficult.

My mom sends them to me from all places Idaho - largest basque pop. outside of spain.

Costplus World Markets carries a Daniele brand semidry chorizo.

really? I was at the one in westlake today and I didn't see any

I've found it at a Seattle area store, though I admit it has been a bit hit and miss. Initially they had a display of Spanish items; more recently it's been with other dried sausages.

I would check with Mollie Stone's in San Bruno. I don't think I have ever seen it at Lunardi's but I haven't looked for it there either.

Have you checked at Oceana Market in Eureka Square? I don't know if they have it but they have quite an eclectic selection of products and they just might.

Fabrique Delices lists it on their web site, but I am not sure if it is imported or if they make it here. Fabrique Delices used to be at the Wednesday Pacifica Farmers Market at Rockaway, but I don't remember seeing them there when I went to the opening market day earlier this month. Their web site is not very helpful either, but they are at a lot of local markets.

Last time I purchased some was from The Spanish Table in Mill Valley, which is obviously out of the way, but they do have mail order.

Yeah I checked out the market in Eureka Square, they didn't have any.

Would Mollie Stone's in San Mateo have it? I go to school fairly close to there and it would be a quick stop by.

I will try to stop by the farmers market on Wednesday and have a look around.

If you are in San Mateo regularly then between Mollie Stone's, Whole Foods and Draegers you should be able to find some.

Also in San Mateo is Gourmet Corner, a French store, but they carry Fabrique Delice.
