TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS

San Telmo Market is an Argentine Food product market - we specialize in gourmet and classic products as well. In our store, you will find spices and sauces from Patagonia, over 30 varieties of Yerba Mate, Alfajores (a best seller in Golden), empanada shells, traditional cookies, candies, and much more!

Our mission consists of spreading Argentine culture through its gastronomy. Besides assisting our Argentine customers in Colorado and the rest of the USA, we provide restaurants, chefs and bakers with our special products. Also, we offer gift baskets with Argentine products for special events.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE GOLDEN?

We came to this magical city thanks to my girlfriend Leonela, who is studying for her Masters Degree in Geology at Colorado School of Mines. When we reached this lovely place, we decided to make our dream come true and have an Argentine Market in Colorado, particularly in Golden, due to its enchanting community, its diversity, its hospitality, its safety and the relationship between this city and nature.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR SAN TELMO?

In a few months, San Telmo Market will celebrate its first year anniversary in Golden. We are truly thankful for the support we’ve received from the local community that welcomed us and shows interest in our constant efforts to provide the best service possible. We are now planning to open an Argentine Restaurant of Empanadas and BBQ in Golden. We hope it will be welcomed by the community, and we will keep the community updated with latest news when the dream comes true.
