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.

Wow! This sausage is strong. And big. Fortunately, in this household we like 'picante' and we have a slicer so we can cut it thin. It will last a long time so I have cut off a piece for short term use and put the rest in the freezer, which I hope will be ok. The only downside is that the 'skin' isn't edible but is pretty hard to peel off leaving the sausage intact. If you do like picante it's worth the patience.

I tried for years to find a good quality Chorizo with a bit of heat and this one certainly fitted the bill. The cooking version is good too. Now I can stop searching, thankyou.
