Bulk Stores in Valencia

There was a time in Valencia when everyone bought in bulk in Valencia.  Fruit shops, bakeries, specialty stores- everything.  Then appeared the big box supermarkets and many of the smaller bulk stores were forced into closing.

However, there is still hope.  The concept of buying at bulk stores has gained popularity in the past few years- with more people becoming conscious on our impact on the planet and the packaging we are consuming each day.  There are many businesses that maintain the tradition of bulk but have modernized to the consumers of today.  From beans, grains, dried fruits, and veggies to teas and even beauty products- bulk has it all.

These stores are favorites for realfooding in Valencia.  If you aren’t sure where to buy in bulk in Valencia, we’ve picked out 8 of the best stores below (oh, and don’t forget those reusable bags in the car.)
