Goodwell is a gourmet shop specialized in olive and grapeseed oils but once you step in you realize…read moreit's much more than that. In fact they only have a small corner devoted to them (and other oils). Of those olive oil is the only 'gourmet' item though. They carry some extra virgin olive oils at very good prices, but they only have Italian ones which is a bit shortsighted for olive oil specialists.
Besides that shelf by the entrance they have all kinds of confectionary, nuts, dried fruits, spices, some wines, canned food (fish, meat and vegetables) and pasta. Most of them are from European origin, mainly Italy but Spain, Germany or Austria are also represented.
The staff let you browse around, in fact in the three times I've been there, no one has ever offered any help or advice. That's okay with me because I knew what I was after but some people may appreciate a bit more customer service. What I like the most about the shop though is that I can find special products not so easy to spot at supermarkets and definitely better priced. I love their sundried tomatoes (not only their taste but their price!) and the big cans (3 Kgs) of jalapeños and chopped tomatoes. These are not for me because I don't cook in bulk but it may be worth for families. Their spicies are also good - no fancy package but who needs that when they are more than half the prize than Taste of Fusion? And who needs that for spicies anyway...!
They also have some good coconut oils, at reasonable prices and their nuts are also okay, but Prizemart beats them!
They carry both well known brands and their own brand. I guess if you're not comfortable with that you can ask them about origin, etc. They were initially just traders and have an important wholesale business behind. Retailing came later and that's why you can see some good prices and variety on their shelves.
So this is my place to stock up on pantry items. For nuts I still go across the street!
