Spanish Serrano Ham 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 16 month cured reserva serrano ham. 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.

Absolutely delicious! I’ve made my own and since having these don’t think I’ll bother making mine again. Really really good!

I bought these to serve as a canapé for a large family BBQ/ paella party On arrival I was impressed with the packaging. I croquettes we’re still frozen solid. I cooked them every way possible deep fried shallow fried and in the oven to. Unfortunately they are too soft to serve as intended I then tried to cut them in half lengthways and re coated the In flour egg and breadcrumbs With the extra layer of coating they still looked as good as the original and it has given them the strength to work as I had intended.

They disintegrated in the pan when I fried them. What was left of them tasted ok.Contacted Basco to share my disappointment, was told it must have been my fault for not frying them at the right temperature. I happen to be Spanish and have fried my share of croquetas. Missed opportunity from customer service to address my feedback in a satisfactory way.
