Fodor's Expert Review Casa Ruiz

For cooks on the hunt for hard-to-find Spanish ingredients, Casa Ruiz is an obligatory stop. The bulk purveyor specializes in dry ingredients, from beans to pulses to spices to chocolate, and they carry only the best. Seek out Manchegan saffron, judiones de La Granja (extra-large white runner beans), and Asturian fabes to make real-deal fabada (bean stew) in your home kitchen.
