The municipal market was a stronghold of food products and today houses successful establishments in the gastronomic scene.
Foodie. This is the word that best defines the market de Pinheiros, which operates today in Rua Pedro Cristi, number 89, near Largo da Batata. For many years the establishment operated on the wide Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima but had to change its address when the city of São Paulo started to grow.
Whoever enters the factory is immediately faced with a large two-story warehouse. On the ground floor, fruit stalls display delicacies such as bananas, papayas, pineapples and other delicacies that convey Brazil in its culinary essence.
Also noteworthy are the stalls selling natural products and dairy products, such as Luvizari, which has been present in the establishment since the old Faria Lima market.
The flagships of the box are the cheeses, both fresh and seasoned with balanced acidity and slightly sweetened. Canned olives, garlic, tomatoes and even corn are not far behind.
History of the Pine Market
Formerly called “Capira Market”, the place was founded in 1910 and was the stronghold of food producers who lived in all four corners of the state and offered the best of their crops.
