Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

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.

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

We have bought this chorizo a couple of times and are never disappointed. We cut it into smaller pieces and freeze them which is always successful. Highly recommend this
