Spain is not only the largest olive oil producer in the world, but they also make some of the best olive oils in the world.
Catalonia makes up 4% of the production of olive oil in Spain, and that’s because of the good climate and terrain for the olives to grow in the region, which results in the most delicious olive oil.
Make sure to bring back home a bottle of extra virgin olive oil as a Barcelona souvenir. It’s a great gift for yourself or for a friend who loves to cook!

Local wine
Spain is one of the top producers of wine in the world, and therefore wine is one of the best Barcelona souvenirs to buy. Wine is produced all over Spain, but the wines from the Catalan region is very unique with its grapes grown in mountainous terrain and costal climate.
I can recommend looking for bottles from the Penedés or Priorat regions when going shopping for wine. You can also go on a wine tasting tour and buy a bottle or two after your visit. This way you’ll also get a nice story behind your souvenir.

Cava
Cava might not be as famous as Champagne in France, but it’s made with the same standards and it’s just as good. Unlike champagne, Cava isn’t restricted to be produced in one specific region of Spain. However, the majority of Cava is produced in Catalunya.
One of the most popular types of Cava is the Brut Extra, which is a dry and crisp sparkling wine without added sugars.
