I'd like to find some Italian food products in the general Seoul area, or even in the Bundang area, specifically: pesto, prosciutto cotto/crudo, mortadella, salami, large block of parmesan cheese, mozzarella di buffala and any other Italian cheeses, gnocchi, and passata sauce for pasta. Does anyone know a place that stocks these items or where I may be able to find them? I'm looking for actual Italian products imported from Italy and not stuff that's made in Korea or elsewhere.

I know that Homeplus/Emart stock small pieces of parmesan and Buitoni pasta/spaghetti, but I've yet to come across any of the other items on my list.

Any help would be appreciated.

It is in Itaewon. I think it's on the main street. They have alot of products from Europe. Can't think of the name....

High Street Market, the new place in Itaewon, has a lot of genuine stuff (though pricey).

You can probably find some stuff at the foreign market up from Hooker Hill, but it's a bit more hit and miss.

I think Sortino's carries some stuff too, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the replies.

I'll be sure to check out High Street Market in Itaewon, and that place in Jeongja. I thought Haddon House had closed down, or was that Hannam Market? Once I figure out the bus routes from my part of Bundang then a trip to Costco may be on the cards too.

I guess I could make the gnocchi myself. If anyone else can contribute to this thread then please do.
