Get into the swing of real tapas with this Sherry and Tapas kit by Basco. The kit is the ideal dinner party inspiration, removing the hassle of thinking what to cook and allowing you to prepare and serve authentic Spanish tapas. Our sherry and tapas is ideal for four people to share and includes a variety of classic Spanish foods specifically chosen to complement one another using our expert knowledge of Spanish ingredients. The Sherry and Tapas Kit includes: One bottle of Aurora Amontillado (50cl) bottled from the third criadera of The Conde Aldama solera in Bodegas Los Angeles (Barrio Alto) in Sanlucar de Barrameda. The average age in criadera of this sherry is 15 to 20 years. Salnort Boquerones in vinegar small - Freshly caught from the Cantabrico Sea and filleted by hand, these anchovies are marinated in extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar. The vinegar immediately pickles them, sealing in their fresh taste. Olive oil is added to introduce a smooth, silky flavour. They are not salty and have a much milder taste than traditional anchovies. Arturo Sanchez Jamon Iberico de Cebo 50g - Iberico ham has a deep, rich nutty flavour and comes from the legendary Iberian breed of black pigs known as pata negra pigs. The animals have at least a hectare of wooded pastures called dehesas and are fed on a diet of grass and the best acorns from holm and cork oak trees. This provides the hams distinctive aroma and exquisite taste. La Gloria Riojana Chorizo Picanta Sarta 230g spicy chorizo is made from an old recipe by a family-owned company in La Rioja. The delicious pork sausage is seasoned with spicy smoked paprika (Pimenton de la Vera Picante). It is all natural with no artificial preservatives.The flavour of this distinctive smoked paprika sets Spanish chorizo apart from sausages of any other country.Chorizo sarta is a fully dry-cured chorizo, ready to eat with your favorite cheese and wine, or just a chunk of crusty bread. No need for refrigeration Our semi cured Manchego Vega Mancha has a very smooth flavour. Packaged in a 150g wedge, this manchego piece is big enough to share and enjoy with tapas or as part of a cheeseboard. This quality cheese has "Queso Manchego D.O." seal of authenticity, attesting to its high quality. Because this young cheese has been cured for up to 90 days, it is fresh, with a gentle sweet aroma. It has a dense paste with lots of small eyes (ojos). The texture is dry-ish but pliable. The flavours are buttery with hints of green almonds and a mild finish. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS HAMPER MUST BE STORED IN A DRY AND COOL PLACE 0-4 DEGREES. OTHERWISE THE CHARCUTERIE AND BOQUERONES NEEDS REFRIGERATING IF YOU ARE NOT USING IT STRAIGHTAWAY.

This was a present for my stepdaughter and partner, who live far away so I haven't been able to sample your goodies myself. However, they assure me that it was delicious and they were very pleased with their Christmas present.

Excellent service from Basco. I put wrong delivery address in gift but they sent replacement to correct address even before original had been returned- and called to check if it arrived. First class service and the gift was well appreciated. The ham was described as ‘off the scale’ delicious by friends who spend about four months a year in Spain and who love their food. Definitely use again and recommend.

If you are unsure on what Tapas to try, then treat yourself to this bundle of joy. Flavours and textures you wont get from your local supermarket... and delivered to your door. The sherry taste grows as you munch the food, simply a great accompaniment.

My husband loved all of the products within the fabulous packaging. Excellent! The second order was for a friend about to return home from hospital; he has yet to try it, but loves the fabulous array. So thank you. I have only one suggestion - maybe you could include a small amount of Membrillo to accompany the Manchego? Keep up with the great produce, I'll definitely order again and recommend Basco to friends.
