Chistorra Sausage Croquetas Reviews

Basque Chistorra Sausage 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 a traditional chistorra sausage from the Basque Country. 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.

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.

Again, amazing packaging kept them frozen and fresh. My Spanish teacher loved them and declared them 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.

Sadly the only chistorra that was into the croquettes was the color, so probably they're just made out of the tinted oil and grease released after frying them. Sadly no chistorra pieces at all on the croquettes despite everything else tasted nicely and could have been a great if it had had some of the expected stuffing.
