What makes great gourmet & pantry?

This plate lists 1,249 shops in 91 countries. Paris has the most with 23, followed by New York with 21. Among these shops, 5 describe made-to-order work, 179 sell online and 3 work by appointment, going by their own descriptions.

Ask how long it keeps: fresh and preserved foods have very different lives, so ask for the date.

Ask for a taste: many counters will let you taste oil or preserves before you choose a jar.

Check the import rules: meat, dairy and fresh produce are restricted in many countries, so check before buying to carry.
