Spanish Goat's Cheese Croquetas - these are a world away from the frozen potato affairs you find skulking at the bottom of supermarket freezers. You'll find these croquetas gracing some of the best pintxos bars in San Sebastian. These are entirely hand-made not with potato but with a thick bechamel made from the local milk of the region. Hand rolled and coated in breadcrumbs they are made using the best ingredients. In this case using local goat's cheese. Making your own croquetas is great fun but this not only takes out some of the hard labour but ensure your getting the authentic croquetas experience made with top quality Spanish ingredients. They make a perfect tapas or pintxos, just deep fry from frozen in medium hot oil until golden brown on the outside or shallow fry in small batches, turning often, until a lovely, crunchy golden colour for 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Come frozen in trays of 12 croquetas of approx. 50g each. Cook from frozen.

I could make my own croquetas, but when they're this good, why bother?

Delicious! Im very pleased with this order and will be ordering more when i next shop with Basco. I live in Wales UK and my order arrived extremely well packed. I'm very impressed with the quality of food and the care taken to ensure it reached me on time in great condition.

Solid and strong croquetas. Flavour and form held up well when deep fried! Super flavourful! Be sure to organize receiving the delivery as best as possible as the form of the croquetas do start to reshape if they do not go straight to the fridge. We needed a neighbour to receive it as we weren't in, but the croquetas were still great albeit slightly reshaped from thawing. I still would highly recommend these croquetas!

They arrived wonderfully fresh in amazing packaging. I wanted them for a tapas night for my Spanish class. Our teacher, native Spanish, was blown away by them and said they were just like his mum makes.

Not had them yet, saving them for Christmas, but had them before at a good friend's house and they were scrumptious. Thus prompting me to place an order. When the family come over at Christmas, I think there will be more convert's to Basco products.

I have had all the different croquetas from Basco and cannot fault any of them. Have also hand-made croquetas and although satisfying, often was the effort worth it, when I can buy these.
