We are staying a few blocks from the Sant’ Ambrogio market, so on our very first morning we did a Market Food Tour with Allen from Ciao Florence. He is a chef who has a passion for teaching about food and we were lucky enough to end up having a private tour with him. The Martcato di Sant’Ambrogio is 700 years old, and has fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese (!) & clothes and anything you might need for your house.

The outside market has fruit & vegetables, but also clothes, crockery & leather goods.
Our first stop we tried a selection of pate, artichoke paste, cheese & cured meats.
Our second stop was a selection of cheese (one of which was parmigano) & some amazing slow cooked beef.
Our last stop was a delicious gelato shop, where all the ingredients are natural (the strawberry was amazing).
They were making a gelato easter egg when we visited!
