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.

This product is excellent and good value, being the second one I have purchased in two weeks for sharing with friends and family. Cut thinly on my slicer this meat goes well on fresh sourdough bread. The delivery service is very efficient and I will certainly be shopping at Basco again soon

This is one big sausage! If you like your Chorizo on the spicy side this is the one for you. if cooked the heat calms down a fair bit. My two boys 10 and 11 yer olds love it and so do I.

I bought this as part of a hamper I put together as a gift. It is enormous! It tastes really good - very sweet, with the heat creeping in -much better quality than anything I've bought in England, and amazing value for money.
