Mercadona has a very good range of products and their own brand for food is called Hacendado. I’m not going to talk about Bosque Verde (household cleaning products) or Deliplus (cosmetics).
Tabasco (Hacendado equivalent thereof) Sara claims that it is more flavoursome than Tabasco!
Chilli sauce
goat’s cheese – hardly a week goes by without me buying a tub of fresh goat’s cheese. This isn’t Hacendado, but I’ve never seen this make elsewhere. I use it to make a Caprese-type salad, instead of using Mozzarella, on a bed of thinly sliced beef tomatoes, sprinkled with extra virgin olive oil, salt and fresh basil, or in a sandwich with ham and tomatoes
Fresh goat’s cheese
Pan artesano, baked on the premises, which I cut in half and freeze. When I take it out of the freezer, I put it in my oven/microwave/grill for 4 minutes and it comes out like a freshly baked loaf. This was particularly useful when I was working, but I still do it out of habit.
Artisan bread
Ginger: it says for sushi or fish, but you can use it in salads
Hacendado gazpacho: not bad for supermarket gazpacho
Potato sticks: naughty, but nice and not at all greasy
potato sticks
Yoghourt and gelatine: lemon and lime or strawberry; no extra sugar, 0% fat
yoghourt and gelatine
Wraps: (these are new) fill with cheese, ham and tomato or whatever you fancy…
wraps (Italian-style bread)
