Title: Basco Chorizo Vela Picante Description: Chorizo Vela Picante is a spicy slicing sausage from the Rioja region, made by Martinez Somalo. It has a smoky, garlic flavor and a distinctive lush red color. The sausage is made with thick cuts of pork and uses a chili-hot version of Pimenton de la Vera, giving it a spicy kick. Fully cured, it's ready to eat and ideal for serving as a tapa with jamon, olives, or manchego cheese. At 1.5kg, it's also perfect for slicing into the traditional Spanish bocadillo sandwich. Chorizo Vela Picante is gluten-free and refrigerated, it will keep up to 6 months unopened. Once opened, wrap it tightly to preserve freshness.

I have been eating chorizo for nearly 40 years and I still love it, even more so of the picante one, great taste.

Don’t be deceived by the photo on the website. This chorizo is a massive chunk of spicy deliciousness! We have cut ours into manageable pieces and vacuum packed them separately as we don’t want any of this to go to waste. Highly recommend

A Chorizo with a beautiful flavour and a lovely chilli tang at the finish. I'd definitely buy this again!

It's much bigger and thicker then you'll expect.

Utterly delicious, with a spicy kick. Exceptional chopped up in stews or thinly sliced on pizza.
