Basco Fresh Cooking Chorizo Picante, 1kg (Martinez Somalo, Spanish, Semi-Cured, Spicy, I.G.P., 3-Month Shelf Life) Reviews

Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Our 1kg Basco Fresh Cooking Chorizo, made by Martinez Somalo in La Rioja, is a soft and moist sausage with a crispy exterior. With over a century of experience, this chorizo is semi-cured for just four days, allowing it to retain moisture while becoming crispy. The secret to its signature taste lies in the premium quality Spanish paprika used. This versatile ingredient comes with a three-month shelf life and is perfect for various cooking methods. Its vibrant color, soft texture, and spicy, aromatic taste are reminiscent of the traditional Riojan Chorizo, which was originally produced in the mountain valleys of La Rioja due to the ideal curing conditions. Since 1990, Riojan Chorizo has held the I.G.P. accreditation to protect its production.

This is a delicious chorizo, at least equal to the ones I buy from my local butcher when I'm in Granada and infinitely better than what's available from your average UK supermarket. Moist, slightly spicy and heavy on the garlic. You can eat it on its own, but I really like it in composite dishes like lentils, habas, fabada asturiana etc. Try roasting cauliflower florets and green peppers with one or two of these, diced up and mixed in with the veg. A pretty good price for a big 1kg pack.
