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.

Great all round. Prompt order confirmation, I ordered on a Thursday so it was made clear it would be shipped Monday to arrive Tuesday. DPD sent me an e-mail to confirm the delivery window (1 hour) so it all went very well. On Wednesday we had Chicken roasted on a bed of chorizo, peppers, onions and root veg and the chorizo got the thumbs up from my family. Good job too because we have two packs to get through.

Exactly what I was looking for to recreate (as close as I can) Basque pintxos. In the oven for 15 minutes, on the bread, smear of sautéed onions & topped with a fried quail egg. Looked and tasted brilliant! Big hit with my family, will be a regular for us.

I have purchased these chorizos before and find them very tasty. This time I have bought the larger quantity, which must indicate my total satisfaction with them.
