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.

“Full-flavoured fresh chorizo, skins are easily removable if you like to crumble into dishes. Slightly spicy but nothing crazy (the kids were happy).”

“I sent the tapas for 2 to my daughter and her husband during lockdown as they were missing Spain. They said its the best Chorizo they have ever tasted. They raved about it so much I bought them the bigger pack, it did not disappoint.”
