Spain produces generally very little high quality food, and vast quantities of hydroponic bland tasting god-knows-whats-inside stuff that looks like vegetables grown by masses cheap labor with highly questionable residence status.
Its harder and harder, but if one really cares in Europe, you have to focus on well-known brands (or whole supermarket chains if you have those) that have long term reputation to uphold.
Here in Switzerland its a bit easier (and EU food products are generally viewed as subpar), but you pay, and you pay a lot.
At the end, you get what you pay for, and there is not that much room for too-good deals which are not scams in some way. And prepare to just don't buy stuff if you don't find suitable things, and replace with something else. And focus on seasonal local stuff as much as possible (I guess residents of say Trondheim are casting a dark look on this)
