Do you fancy red pepper marmalade?

For a listing of the best agrobotigas or farm shops of the region, with the widest range of locally produced foods, drinks and other natural produce, check out the following government website dedicated to agriculture and food.
Here you´ll find addresses, websites (not all of them have websites though) and a sampling of what they have on sale. They are by and large located in the countryside, in villages and small towns with a strong tradition of agricultural co-operatives. Apart from the mainstay of wines and oils in all their wonderful varieties and from all the different D.O.´s of the Tarragona province, there are also a number of more exotic products on sale, ranging from olive-oil shampoo, almond flour, onion jam, red pepper marmalade, chocolate and orange marmalade, thyme honey and sugarfree turrón. These agrobotigas are essential stopping-off points whenever you are travelling through the local countryside.
