Moving to Puglia in Southern Italy, I knew I had all kind of delicious food to look forward to. When our pantry and fridge became empty, I decided to do a video of my GROCERY HAUL! (I figured, what would a UA-camr do in this situation?! Ha).

This was produced during the covid pandemic restrictions imposed as Italy tries to reduce the spread of coronavirus.
THANK TO YOU ALL (especially on Instagram) for suggesting so many incredible, delicious things that have already become staples in our household. Let me know what else I should try (in the comments below or @qkatie on Instagram)!
This is just PART I ... here's PART II: • GROCERY HAUL IN ITALY ...

Hi there, friends! My name is Katie and I'm a video journalist & food enthusiast. On this channel I make videos about life and delicious things. I post every week, and of course, I #keepitquirky :)
My grandmother comes from Puglia.
I'm living in the UK now, but miss Italy (and in the context of this video, Italian supermarkets!). Can't wait to get back to Rome when the current situation has eased a bit. :)
This is such a cool video! I'm a grocery shopping nerd. One of my favourite parts about travelling is going to different grocery stores and checking things out. I was actually supposed to go to Italy again this Spring, which won't be happening anymore. I have such an itch to travel. Thanks for making this video- it's the closest thing we have to travelling these days! Would love to see more videos like this!
Hii Ken! So glad you liked this vid
so happy that i am not alone enjoying the supermarket visits :D
Fage ist a greek company, their HQ is in Luxembourg though :) Fun fact: "Fage" ist both an acronym and also means "Eat!" in Greek :)
That IS a fun fact!! Very literal description of what to do with it, too ;)
FAGE yoghurt is authentic Greek yoghurt made in Greece. It's sad they don't indicate it on the product. Glad you are able to find it there!
As spaghetti You could try La Molisana - Le integrali - spaghetto quadrato n° 1 (square shaped spaghetto, whole wheat).
As rice You could get riso Venere integrale (Gallo or another brand) that is a black rice.
Oooh thanks for the recommendations. Black rice sounds fun!
Or also, still regarding spaghetti, you have to try the Voiello, as well as the Great Master Antonino Cannavacciuolo strongly recommends with sea fruits! 😍😋😎!
I'm Italian: Rice & Polenta are more North Italian stables... the rest of Italy mainly eats different types of pasta
I loved all the delicious polenta recipes I had visiting friends in Friuli. Can't wait to go back!
@@TheQKatie I totally understand you! I so wish I could come down to Puglia again... fingers crossed!
@@TheQKatie yeah im from Friuli, im so proud of our food and wine! You are welcome any time! I hope you taste "frico" :)
Nowadays even in south italy they use the stables of the north. For example I know many people from Campania who loves tortellini. Many people from Puglia and Calabria who loves trenette with pesto or tagliatelle alla bolognese. I also know many people from the south who adore bresaola, aceto balsamico, cotechino, mortadella, piadina romagnola, gorgonzola, mascarpone all products from the north. Also I know many people from south who make polents regularly in the winter season.
StaPles, not 'stables'… unless you are talking about 'scuderie'
I hope you can travel to the north once this pandemic will end, and try all the different kind of flours used for polenta.
In a very specific part of Lombardia the use buckwheat flour to make pasta and polenta (and obviously many other delicious dishese).
Also that kind of polenta can be mixed with cheese and butter to create a one-of-a-kind dish (in the past was this high energy dish that should get your through the whole day on the alpine pasture)
I hope so too! This sounds amazing!
Oh, yeah Grisbì! My fav cookies. Soooo delicious. The traditional ones are the chocolate ones, but also the hazelnut, lemon, coconut and the new pistachio are very good!
I've had to impose Grisbi limits in the household. They are DANGEROUSLY delicious.
@@TheQKatie Ahah! Just like me. That's why they're only 9 in a pack! 😄
If you're looking for unsweetened, plain yogurt, look for those labelled "naturale", and not just "bianco" :) we have plenty! And to add to the other Italian yogurt brand recs - Fattorie Scaldasole was my childhood!
Your face in thumbnail is one of most funny things i've ever seen 😂
It is becoming more n more a challenge to find products with no sugar added. You have to read thoroughly the label. Eventually you find them! Thank you for your video!
Shopping for local food (meaning at butcher shops, farmers markets, greengrocers and seafood markets) is extremely fun for me because of I love hunting for culinary treasures that lives within the markets and I'm one of those people who believes fresh food, the better. That's why I always say make friends with your local butchers, farmers and fishmongers because they'll: keep you updated on what they sell, set something aside for you when you call ahead of time and give you great recommendations for when you're shopping.
YES!! I 100% agree with all of this. Definitely worthwhile relationships to make and nurture!
to make a great risotto you had to chose Carnaroli Rice and remember not stir the rice, as matter of fact my grandfather said "il riso nasce nell'acqua e muore nel vino, non vive" (rice born on water and died on wine, it don't live")...
Try Riso Venere (Black rice) is very good to eat solo with parmigiano reggiano or make rice salad
me faje murì 😂..napoletan version of mi fai morire (dalle risate)....that is to say ..LOL!!! Such a positive mood!!! BRAVA
Gnocchetti Sardi, form Sardinia! I love them! You should try to cook them with tomato sauce and sausage, fennel seeds and of course, after they will be ready, sardinian sheep cheese
Yummmm
@@TheQKatie have you ever tried the stuffed pasta?
Just like, ravioli, agnolotti, tortellini, cullurgiones and so on (they are all different and from different regions)
I really love that kind of pasta!
If you need more information, ask me whatever you desired!
Biscotti = Biscuits words that becomes from late Latin that means cooked twice. You are right Rummo is the real Napoletan pasta very good. It was great to watch your face when you tasted Crisbi for the first time. Next video unbox the lemon cream Crisbi, the are the best!
Never forget Voiello and Garofalo.
I actually have one quinoto tree (its not a big tree) in my yard here in Argentina and... damn the dude is resilient! I never water ir, and the soil is quite rocky and yet it gives me several kg of it, sometimes more than once a year. We here tend to do jam with it (+whisky +ice cream is nice too)
Yummy. You’re so lucky to have that!
Haha I love grocery hauls it’s fascinating to see what others buy. I want a market produce haul with prices plz! I’m soo jealous of the cheap produce and beautiful cheese. Although Italy has a bad economy you can live well on modest means.
You know you're in Italy when you go to the supermarket and you have pasta walls
Fage is the best i have it all the time. It would be really useful if you would give prices of the grocery items you buy . Do you have a fresh fish store?what is the cost for fish? In fact a cost of living video would be ideal for anyone considering a move. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the idea!
Very interesting video! 🥰 Definitely miss Italy 😢 I'm originally from Italy but living abroad! Can't wait to see more videos like this!
Thanks for watching! (Grazie per la visione!)
I loved it! Waiting for the second part...
yay! The second part includes more delicious cookies, all the delicious spreads, and also my Thanksgiving takeaways! Get excited! :)
@@TheQKatie Ohh nooo, cookies and spreads together?? My weakness! This’ll be great. :)
Love your energy!
Aw shucks!! :) Thanks for watching!
From a pugliese in the far North: fiori di zucca (fritti e indorati) are the food of Gods.
If you like Risotto, just go to Piedmont, particularly in the Vercelli area, in those little villages going towards Casale Monferrato you can find real treasures to make a great lunch, and you also have the wines of the Monferrato.
Mmm non vedo l’ora!
Me , a sardinian , who's trying to learn a bit of English from videos .😂
Sardinia is part of Italy but the fact that it's an island makes it very different from other part of the state : explore it . You're not going to be disappointed , promised 😉
11:10 oh wow I just tried those cookies just a few days ago (but it was the basic one without nocciola). They were the tastiest ones i have ever eaten
Summer is coming Katie, it's time for friselleeeeeeeee
yummm
You should buy pistacchios abd other kind of roasted nuts on sunday morning, usually there are some seller on the streets.
Chinotto ❤️❤️❤️
Hey make your own yogurt. Your opener was used upside down, btw. Another on your Swiss Army Knife. Spaghetti 3 is great with Puttanesca.
Try and put your grisbì in the fridge and eat them cold, especially the lemon flavored ones.. it's become my personal addiction
I love your positif energy i hope you ll make more videos 🙂
Thank you, I will! Thanks for watching, I hope you subscribe! :)
Chef’s kiss 👌
I'll take it :)
I love San Pellegrino Sparkling, Flavored Waters, my favorite is the Limonata. I like drinking/using San Pellegrino sparkling water for Italian drinks is when I'm cooking something Italian, mostly pasta. What's your favorite San Pellegrino sparkling, flavored water?
Yes! I love your themed beverage choices to go along with your meal :) I’m still figuring out what my favorite is!! It seems that there are a few new flavors here I’d never experienced before moving here (like the Chinò). But their limonata is a hard one to beat!
No surprise, people from northern Italy are called Polentoni! 😉
Love a good haul video😀
Yaaay!! The next vid will continue this one ... so fun! (Such deliciousness here!)
What do you guys do for a living besides UA-cam? Does Conner speak Italian?
Never thought that Nestlé Chocapic are chocolate orecchiette pugliesi (Forbidden Orecchiette). LOL.
If you say "finocchio" so good, you can say "pistacchio" as well 🙂
Have you ever try Polenta Taragna?
Ciaooo .. gli yogurt che hai fatto vedere non sono italiani .. Müller è tedesco e l’altro mi pare greco, ti consiglio quelli provenienti dal Trentino Alto Adige sono fantastici !! 👍🏻😉
Grazie per la dritta!
Yes Vipiteno is a great italian yogurt brand and they have also the no sugar on plain one. But the best is the Latte Fieno which is made from milk of cows who only eat a particular kind of grass and nothing else.
A good yogurt is Sterzing Vipiteno
🥕 3:40 you could reuse the plastic as you use up the items. Or the other market puts them in a bag? I suppose less plastic wrap on earth 🌎 is best! 🐢 🐢
Wondering why are you not making your own Yoghurt? Really easy and more delicious then any store bought stuff
Good point. I used to make it all the time in London. I should get back into it!
@@TheQKatie Brava :)
Rummo pasta is the best. You chose well! ;)
You’re so cute! I’m going to call you Qt Katie not quirky 😂
Come back to Italy!
Why would you boil the milk for your coffee? I for some reason cant stomach milk when its boiled, always just heat it. When i was working at a bar i was taught to heat milk until you couldnt comfortably hold your hand on the pot for more than a second, which means its between 60-70 degrees.
is it possible the boiled milk is even less disgestible?
qkatie lower the temperature of the fridge, feels like enter in Narnia
Yeah we didn’t realize at first. It’s fixed now!
How on earth can you and Connor be slim with all the food you can eat there? I’m an Italian living in UK. ))) ps. From my paternal side I have Basilicata origins! )))
Basilicata love!
Pronuncia corretta Chinotto=> Kinotto (è un agrume come l'arancio e il limone) ma non si mangia si usa solo per fare la bibita (che io sappia).
Prova anche la Cedrata Tassoni è fatta con il cedro (un altro agrume) è più dolce del chinotto ha un sapore particolare è un'altra bibita old style.
Ah! So adesso con "ch." Ancora è difficile per me!
@@TheQKatie ..."CH"..."GN"..."GL"...Tricky italian!!! 😅
You have a nice collection of glasses.
Well, you should try real Sardinian gnocchetti sardi :-D
arborio is okay but once you go carnaroli you'll never go back
I think a taste test is asking to be done!! :) I’ll def get carnoroli next time I’m at the store - thanks! 🙏
@@TheQKatie Oh I would love to see that and get your thoughts :)
You can probably also the pancetta/bacon vs real Guanciale carbonara test and have a look at a comparison of a variety of "real deal" Italian ingredients vs the stand-ins we're all used to
Fun fact: in italy "Chinotto" is another way to say "Bl0wj0b"
An advice from a "new Italian" Never go around Taralli, they are addictive
Hi Katie, let me inform you that in some Italian areas slang "chinotto" means BJ, so think twice before you "offer a chinotto" to a male friend. As an Italian in London I had the same issue with "nuts". You know what I mean.
Wow, really?! 😅 I've never heard of that, and I'm Italian.
OMG! Looks like you've never eaten before! Ahah! :D
As others said, down with grisbì, just industrial biscuits, maybe tasty, but not healthy at all... in italian... Una porcheria! :D
what's your secret for such white smile? 😂😂
pasticiotti? 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I'M IN LOVE!!!!
(come to Lecce for the real pasticciotti)
Taralli are not cookies or biscuits, they're like crackers or bread!
Ps: it's nocciòla not nòcciola, and pistackio not pistacio 😘
I’m from Northern Italy, in the Alps, I thought pasta was gonna be way cheaper in Puglia. 1€ for 500g?! Damn.. I buy mine for 0,59€ usually
Oh, there's a lot of cheaper pasta. I'm just a fancy snob haha ;)
@@TheQKatie there are a lot of variables that affect prices: if you buy Barilla you're going to save more but the quality is quite low (tip: just check behind pasta where pasta is made and come from [for instance: made in Italy but wheat from Europe. I'm always buy brands that produce here and use italian wheat])while if you choose Garofalo/Molisana the price is higher but the quality is so much better.
@@TheQKatie No, you are not snob. You choose well what you eat. Not all pasta is alike
111
Orchestra?
Little ears if memory serves
I think fage is greek
😱 NO GRISBÌ NOOOO.... they are so... Overprocessed, and over elaborated...
Good to know...but they are soooo delicious! haha. Thanks for watching!
@@TheQKatie grisby its better of so much buiscuitts
