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.

“I use this in my paella. Gives a great colour and flavour. I take the skins off the before slicing and cooking along with the onions. About 4 chorizo are enough for 3 people. Keeps very well in the fridge. Great product.”
