Today’s story is not that of the supermarket that copied the essence (and something more) of the Mercadona supermarket chain. 3,600 kilometers from Valencia, in Estonia, there is a stall that sells a wide range of imported Hacendado products.
If in itself the surprise in Estonia is not only to find Hacendado products, but also the variety available, this stall offers from ice cream for one euro to Serrano ham, through the classic ham potatoes, soy sauce, preserves, sausages or pâtés.
Hacendado in Estonia: ham-flavored potatoes for 3 euros
It is revealed by Leyre Gómez @leyregomeezz, an Instagram user who has come across the stamp while traveling in Estonia.
These products, although more expensive than in Spain, fill the shelves of a market stall in the Baltic republic. He tells the story in his video:
The prices reflect the logistics behind getting these products to Estonia. How do they get there? It’s a mystery. It could be a special arrangement or simply the owner’s passion for Spanish cuisine.
Gazpacho, chorizo and olive oil spray are just some of the essentials that make this stall a little Mercadona in the middle of an Estonian market. Chickpeas cost 4 euros, chorizo 5, and ham-flavored potatoes about 3 euros.
