Maestro Horchatero's Chufi is a pretty good supermarket's orxata, normal one is maybe too watered. But if you have only that option it's not a crime. If you are living in Valencia it's really meh, but if you are living abroad it's enough to activate nostalgia

Maestro Horchatero is pretty good 👍 Approved by this Valencian girl

No quería decirlo así, porque soy de paladar de pobre (si algo no está muy muy malo me suele gustar). Pero viendo que no soy el único al que le gusta ya puedo decirlo más abiertamente 😂

En una cata ciega no nos daríamos cuenta, probablemente 🤣. No hay una diferencia tan grande

It's good, I like it, it's a very traditional horchatera company in Spain, I've been in supermarkets for quite a few years, come on, I'm 50 years old and they've been there all my life.

If you're going to buy super market horchata, get the condensed one, it's the only one that gets close to the real thing.

Can definitely back this, but note that HISC isn't very widely available in the rest of Spain. I've been a huge horchata fan for all my life and finding about about Horchata Condensada changed my life hehe

I've seen it in many places, because it's the one that takes longer to spoil, the supermarket chain consum usually has it, and you can also buy it online.
I'm not sure if I hisc or Costa tastes better, but both are good for my out of season horchata cravings.

Yeah, in Valencia you will definitely find it. I dont remember seeing them in Consums in Catalunya for example. I live in the Netherlands, so I just take 6 bottles of hisc home every time I go to la terreta.

It’s ok. It’s not the best but it’s not absolute crap either. There are better options, though. You should visit Daniel or Subies.

cuando compro veo la cantidad de chufa y todas son basura quimica con azucar y algunas menos del 15 % de chufa

If you are outside L'horta, buy Or xata! (Panach) or Or, xata! (Polo), every supermarket have it, they have more love for the quality.

Of course it's not the best orchata but everytime I come back to Valencia I buy myself a bunch of bottles and other articles because I miss it so much XD

It's consumable, just fine. If you want to drink good orxata just go to Alboraia and ask the locals where to drink the best. There is an orxateria just behind Lonja de la Seda that serves good orxata too.
