Specializing in Regional Foods of Spain - France - Italy
"Reverse Exploration"
Since childhood we learned from our history books about Christopher Columbus and all the other European explorers finding amazing discoveries in the Americas and bringing their finds back to the "Old World". Fast forward to the present time, and Americans like Michael and Julius are "reverse exploring" the "old world" and bringing their finds back to America. But it's not only their finds that they love to bring, it's also whatever other finds that Americans have found when exploring Europe. We invite you to share your exploration experience and would be more than happy to fulfill any of your product requests!
Why the First Decade of the New Millennium is Significant to Owners, Michael Colvin & Julius Arcángel Patam?
A decade ago Julius and Michael first moved to France and fell in love with the culture and foods. Throughout the decade they lived and traveled throughout Europe, especially Spain, France and Italy. Their passion for foods from these regions became evermore stronger. During the decade they took time to learn recipes new to them (but common in the place of origin) and share the foods and experience with friends and family. Whenever Julius & Michael share their foods, they are most rewarded. Nearly a decade later, their passion for foods of these regions compelled them to open up a small deli and market serving foods and offering retail food products of these regions. A decade of learning and appreciating the foods and cultures of these countries... That is why the first decade of the new millennium is significant to them.... and off into a new decade where the learning and true appreciation never ends!
