Hello friends! We are pleased to announce that Cold Storage has been completely redesigned. Believe it or not, it's even more premium now! Introducing Mercato, the coolest fresh premium supermarket in Penang. You can make your own nut butter, get freshly squeezed pomegranate juice and make your very own, healthy roasted ice cream!

Introduction of Mercato, premium supermarket with quality food

From a distance, you will notice that the new room now has a darker tone. Equipped with dark wooden shelves and marble tops, this place definitely screams premium! With a good range of products you will find here all food, beauty and household items. There are so many things that make Mercato different than the other supermarkets in Penang. Listen!

1. Fresh herbs with longer shelf life

Here are some facts about fresh herbs! Fresh herbs often contain higher antioxidants than processed or dried herbs. With what said it helps to reduce blood clots! Have you ever thought of refining your dishes with fresh herbs? You can try the range in Mercato, as it contains fresh herbs with a longer shelf life.

2. Whole wheat bread with a low glycemic index

Here's another healthy thing to check out. This premium supermarket offers a good selection of wholegrain bread and sweet rolls. If you choose a healthy lifestyle, try the wholemeal bread that is available here and has a low glycemic index. Some foods can cause your blood sugar to rise very fast, depending on your glycemic index. The lower the number, the better! Any number under 55 is low.

3. Freshly prepared pomegranate juice

Feel like thirsty shopping? Get freshly prepared pomegranate juice! Fresh pomegranate juice was a hit in Klang Valley and has finally landed on our shores. Pomegranate juice filled with antioxidants and vitamin C is well known for its potential health benefits such as the prevention of heart disease and cancer. A bottle for us, please!

4. Make your own fried ice cream

Ice cream lovers, you'll be up to speed if you know that Mercato offers fried ice cream to all shoppers! You can also customize your own fried ice cream and watch the entertaining process in front of your eyes! Just pick the fruits that you think fit your ice cream and you're ready to go.

5. Adjust your own nut butters

Did you know that you can also customize your own nut butter here at Mercato? Forget typical peanut butter, you can now eat almond butter, pistachio butter or even black sesame! Sure is unknown, but it's true as we saw it. You may also choose to leave your nut butter raw or roasted. If you have a palate for strong flavors, definitely choose the roasted one.

6. High quality Japanese Wagyu beef, Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac and live seafood

In addition to all the exclusive elements at Mercato, this supermarket is characterized by another special feature. Mercato is the first Penang supermarket to offer premium products such as Japanese Wagyu Beef, Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac, and living, fresh catches from the ocean. So, if you fancy quality foods, you know where to find them.
