They have a light nutty flavour, slightly earthy with a peppery finish. However, it is their exquisite flavour that really makes Pardina lentils stand out from any other lentil varieties.

Verdejo
Medium straw in the glass. Grassy and floral with good acidity making a fresh wine with a characteristic slight bitterness and oiliness. On the palate; herbal, mineral with a finish of tropical and citrus fruits. A classic example of the variety.
Our iberico pork fillet is what a pork tenderloin is supposed to taste like! Juicy, tender and gloriously marbled! Pork fillet or tenderloin is known in Spain as Solomillo Iberico. It is the leanest cut of the Iberian pork. It is a very versatile cut and works well on the barbecue or grill as it cooks quickly and evenly. Iberico de bellota have long been famous as arguably the world’s finest hams. Intense marbling and its complex taste set it apart from all others. The same can be said of fresh Iberico pork meat. Unlike modern pork, which has had all of its flavour and colour bred out of it, Iberico pork has more in common with fine beef.
Like a fine cut of beef, the fillet is best seared or grilled medium rare. This is the most tender of cuts, so treat it gently! Lightly season your Iberico pork fillet with salt and pepper and cook in a hot pan for about 10 minutes but do not overcook it – your reward is a juicy, pink center pork fillet that showcases the meat’s rich, nutty flavour.
This fresh Iberico pork loin comes from an ancient breed of pig, the black hoofed Cerdo Iberico, which has been roaming the woodland meadows of western Spain feeding on acorns for thousands of years. Iberico pork is served at the finest restaurants across Spain. Serve the best at your home today!
You will receive one frozen vac pac of iberico fillet delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the solomillo straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE SOURCE THIS PRODUCT IN VARIABLE WEIGHT PACKS, SO EXPECT A WEIGHT VARIATION OF APPROXIMATELY 200G +/- ON YOUR SOLOMILLO IBERICO.
WHAT IS THE HIMALAYAN ROCK SALT COOKING BLOCK?
For the most natural way to season your food as it cooks, try salt block cooking – the ancient art of grilling, chilling, searing and serving on a salt block. Responsibly sourced from salt reserves in the Salt Range mountains of Pakistan, each chunky Salthouse Himalayan Rock Salt Cooking Block is unique, deriving its subtle variation in flavour and pinkish colour from the particular blend of minerals present in the salt seam it was carefully mined from.
The Himalayan salt cooking block will allow you to easily cook meat, fish or vegetables without having to add any salt at all. As the food is in direct contact with the hot salt block, they absorb just the right amount of salt straight away. When cooking on a Himalayan Salt Block there will be no smoke or smell, so you will be able to cook and eat right away anywhere you want. Besides, the metal frame allows you to bring the hot block wherever you need to. You can also use it to serve cold food, like sushi, tartare or carpaccio, as the salt block also allows to keep food cool too.
HOW YOU USE THE HIMALAYAN ROCK SALT COOKING BLOCK
There’s no end to the ways you can use it: from curing meat or fish to searing scallops or making salted caramel ice cream, the possibilities are endless and, because it lasts so long, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to experiment. Its low porosity means it doesn’t hold on to flavours so you can switch between sweet or savoury foods without compromising their taste – just a simple wipe of its surface once it’s back to room temperature and it’s ready to use again.
Step1 You can place the salt block right on top of your gas cooker, inside the oven or on charcoal grill. Please note the block is to be used on induction cookers. On a gas cooker: Preheat on a low flame for 15 minutes, then 15 minutes on medium and 15 minutes on a high flame. In the oven: Place the salt block in the oven when it is off and cold. Heat up to 70ºC (158ºF). Then bring the heat gradually up all the way to 250ºC (480ºF) Charcoal grill: Place straight on top of the grill for about 45 minutes. It is strongly advisable that the salt block is hot enough before cooking anything on it, otherwise the food will absorb more salt than it is recommended
Step 2 When the temperature is right for cooking, take the block out and protect the surface where you are going to lay it with a wooden slab or something similar. Season your meat, fish or vegetables with your choice of Regional Co. products and then place it on the salt tile. Use the tweezers provided in order to flip the food over or serve it.
Step 3 Let the block cool down thoroughly (at least for one hour) before you clean it.
CLEANING DIRECTIONS HIMALAYAN ROCK SALT COOKING BLOCK
Use a spatula or a metallic scrub, and then clean with some kitchen roll paper or a wet cloth. Do not use soap or cleaning products. Do not put under water or wash with water. The salt block is a natural antibacterial product, so you only need to scrub off the food remains. The block’s colour will gradually become darker and smaller with use. You can grate the chips that break off in order to obtain cooking salt.
Bonito del Norte is considered by Spaniards to be the finest of tunas.
Salanort is a venerable company from the Basque region, famed for its firm, flavorful tuna. Each tuna is line caught by hand, preserving the texture and flavour that can be damaged by the stress of harvesting by net. Colman Andrews, former Editor-in Chief of Saveur Magazine, writes that Bonito tuna is “one of the great gastronomic pleasures of every day life.”
It is a far cry from the water-packed tuna you get at the supermarket.
Warning: once you taste this silky smooth tuna, you may never buy another tin of ordinary tuna.
It is great in salads or on sandwiches, as well as a stuffing for piquillo peppers.
100% Syrah
Big, bold, red wine in the tradition of a French Rhone. Intense cherry red colour. On the nose red fruits dominate with a spicy licorice and toffee background. In the mouth, there are further fruit notes with the characteristic wild bramble and pepper note of the syrah grape combined with smooth tannins and coplex structure. This wine has fantastic length and all the finesse you would expect from one of Spain’s great wineries.
Rice dishes, roast meats and stews and dark chocolate.
100% Mencia
This young red wine is made from 100% Mencia grapes, the indigenous Spanish grape that shows all its splendour in the Bierzo region, in North West Spain. The vines from which this wine is made of are south facing and within altitudes of 600 to 750 meters. This high altitude allows grapes to breath during night time and favour natural acidity and freshness in this wine. This wine is fermented in stainless steel deposits and sees no oak.
This is a perfect example of what a Mencia young wine should be. On the nose, it shows the pure fruity character of Mencía grape at its best, with black forest fruits aromas (blueberry), floral notes and mineral touches. On the palate, the black fruits dominate with a herbaceous touch in the after taste.
Try it with meat dishes, a pork or chicken roast, pasta dishes, cured cheeses or Spanish ham and other Spanish traditional cold cuts (Salchichon, Chorizo, Cecina).
Fig and almond cake is an icon of Mediterranean cuisine and was consumed in ancient times as part of the regular diet. Only almonds of the best calibre and the best dried figs are selected to elaborate these cakes. Known for their sweet flavour and tiny seeds, the fine texture of the fruit creates a very smooth cake.
Easy to slice and enjoy alongside a slice of ewes milk cheese, like Manchego or Idiazabal. It can also be chopped up for salads or served alongside yoghurt or ice cream.

Iberico Baby Back pork ribs are cut straight from the Iberico pork loin. They are very succulent and tasty whilst maintaining our excellent quality. They are smaller in size than ribs of a standard white pig, however the flavour of Iberico ribs is far superior.

Not only are they the happiest pigs on earth, but this diet adds wonderful flavour to these Baby Back pork ribs and all that exercise fosters the marbling that makes Iberico pork ribs so special. The acorn and herb flavoured pork is high in mono-unsaturated fats that melt at low temperatures, and is more healthy than the fat from normal pork.
Iberico Baby Back pork ribs have much more fat content than standard white pork ribs but their flavour is much more complex because of the grass, herbs and acorns on which the animals grazed on.

Known as the “other red meat” by the Spanish locals, Iberico pork cheeks are a unique cut of pork meat by being quite meaty yet surprisingly lean. The pork meat is deep red in colour and is exceptionally rich and full of flavour.
The pork cheeks come from the free-range Iberico black pigs that wander the countryside of Southwestern Spain feasting on sweet acorns and are considered a national treasure of Spain. Iberico Pork is traditionally known as Carrillera Iberica and has the unique benefit of being a lean healthy pork meat without losing the acorn flavoured fat that gives it such a rich taste.
Animal welfare is important to us here at Basco which is why we ensure we only pick produce that has been ethically reared using entirely natural farming methods. In the ancient dehesa habitat, Iberian Pigs wander between cork and holm oak trees, eating grass, herbs and lots of sweet acorns. They live most of their lives outdoors and get plenty of exercise as they trot along with their family group. All this exercise and the amazing diet not only make for happy pigs – it makes for exceptional pork that is delicious and healthy to eat.
One of our favourite dishes when we visit Spain is fork-tender iberico pork cheeks served with a rich wine or sherry sauce like ‘rabo de toro’ (oxtail) or braised lamb shanks where slow stewing transforms this special cut into a savoury delight by releasing flavours that slowly meld into an incredibly complex and pleasing dish. Slow-braising takes around three hours, but once you combine the pork with garlic, vegetables, wine and stock in a pan, you just sit back and wait for the magic to happen! Serve the Iberico pork cheeks with potatoes, carrots or caramelised onions.
Iberico pork cheeks are ideal when served with a big Spanish red wine such as our Enate Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot and a crusty loaf of bread!

Presa Iberica is a meat cut from the Iberico pork attached to the shoulder, and located near the head of the loin.
Presa Iberica is a very tender well marbled cut that can be prepared quickly over a hot pan. Due to its location, it possesses qualities of both the shoulder and loin.
Presa is a beautiful, flavourful cut of pork that melts in your mouth – we call it the other red meat! Grilled medium rare, it has a juicy, tender bite and a full mouthwatering flavour that speaks of its free-range acorn fed source.
Presa is a thick shoulder steak unlike any other. It is thick and juicy, but leaner than pluma end loin or the secreto flank steak.
Iberico pork comes from free-range Iberico pigs indigenous to Spain. They live an ideal life rooting for acorns under cork and holm oak trees. Their diet provides a complex flavour and a fat that literally melts in your mouth. The exercise provides the beautiful marbling that distinguishes Iberico pork from any other.
Our favourite way to prepare this incredible pork is to season with salt and pepper and grill or sear the presa, then cook at medium high heat until done. The centre of the steak should still be pink. This cut has less fat than other types of Iberico pork, so be careful not to overcook. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut thin slices to best enjoy the flavour.
You will receive one frozen vac pac of presa steak delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the presa straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking.

Secreto Iberico is a part of the top extreme of the loin’s top. In the traditional quartering of meat it is united to the loin’s fat or ‘hoja de tocino’. Sizzle this thin cut on the grill and the fat will immediately start to melt away, bathing the pork in lovely acorn flavoured juiciness. Iberico pork is famed for its beautiful marbling and no other cut displays this more deliciously than the secreto. While it comes from the shoulder area, it has a lot of similarities to a tender skirt steak.
Indigenous black Iberico pigs wander the dehesa forests of southwest Spain feeding on herbs, grasses and most importantly, acorns. Not only are they the happiest pigs on earth, but this diet adds wonderful flavour to the pork. And all that exercise fosters the marbling that makes Iberico so special. The acorn and herb flavored pork is high in mono-unsaturated fats that melt at low temperatures, and is more healthy than the fat from normal pork.
The secreto has so much marbling it has a bit of a bacon-like flavor, but much more complex because of the grasses, herbs and acorns on which the animals are grazed. The secreto cut is a small, thin cut that is hard to locate on the pigs, hence the name. It should be grilled or cooked in a cast iron skillet at medium high heat.
You will receive one frozen vac pac of secreto iberico delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the secreto straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking.

At Basco, we only source the highest quality beef from Galicia in the Northwest of Spain. Our Galician beef range comes from retired Frisona dairy cows between 6 and 8 years old. This type of ageing allows more natural grass-fed marbling of the beef so that its comparable to the marbling of genetically optimised grain-fed US, Japanese and generic Wagyu beef. These older cows are chubbier animals, have a higher percentage fat content and as such have more marbling, giving these beef steaks a distinct and unique flavour. All our galician rib steaks are dry-aged for a minimum of 35 days.
Originating in the Basque Country and often referred to as Txuleton or Basque Cider House Steak after a tradition of Basque farmers exchanging beef for cider at the Cider Houses. Txuleton steaks are normally served as large 35oz rib steaks. Each txuleton steak undergoes a careful and exact preparation and cooking method, which needs to be carried out in order to obtain the best out of this incredible beef. Txuleton steaks can be of Galician or other origin, it is more about the large rib steak with cider that makes the word txuleton famous.
The perfect way to cook and serve a Galician Rib Steak is to bring the steak to room temperature for at least 6 hours. Salt both sides of the steak with some rock salt 30 minutes before cooking. Cook the steak on charcoal barcecue for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, allow to rest for 2 minutes in a warm place. To serve the steak, take the bone off and slice thinly accross, season with salt flakes and serve in a warm plate or platter.

Our salt cod trimmings are from Icelandic origin but salted and carefully prepared by Bacalaos Alkorta in Gipuzkoa, a family owned salt cod specialist with more than 40 years of experience. Bacalaos Alkorta are one of the most prestigious companies in this sector and supply some of the best restaurants in Spain.
Salt cod needs desalting before using. You will need to desalt the bacalao in advance by placing it in a bowl and covering it with water for 48 hours. Keep the bowl in the fridge, changing the water four times per day. This process will flush away all the salt from the cod. Make sure you remove any bones from each fillet with the help of a pair of tweezers. You can do this by running your finger across the flesh and check that all pieces are clean of any scales left on the skin.
Bacalao is used in thousands of Spanish and Portuguese recipes. Why not try it in some croquetas or simply grilled with a piperade sauce. It’s uses are endless!
Keep refrigerated – once opened maintain storage in the refrigerator and use within 3 months.

This is a very distinctive Basque cheese which has made a big name for itself. It’s made from unpasteurised milk from the Latxa sheep, long cured for 4 months and then lightly smoked.
As you’d expected from a mature cheese, the texture is firm. The taste is powerful and unique. The base is a well developed sheep’s cheese, similar to Manchego, but with raw milk for maximum flavour. However, it’s also smoked for a further taste element. To produce one kilo of this Idiazabal cheese seven litres of milk are needed.
La Vasco Navarra carries the Idiazabal D.O.sticker of guarantee and mark of quality. It has also won multiple awards such as a bronze medal at the world cheese awards 2024.
The most famous Spanish blue cheese from Valdeon in the Picos de Europa. A strong aroma and potent flavour make this one of the world’s classic blue cheeses.
Vega de Llos Valdeon blue cheese, also commonly known as picos blue cheese, is made from a blend of cow’s and goat’s milk, with occasionally ewe’s milk replacing goat’s. Ripening lasts at least one and a half months for those made from pasteurised milk.
Vega de Llos Valdeon cheese has an intense flavour, slightly lactic, salty, piquant and a little spicy-hot. It has a caramelised aroma and buttery texture that melts in the mouth. The beaten cheese has the same aroma and flavour, but the texture is creamy, becoming more so as the temperature rises.
It is recommended for salads, sauces, or just spreading on bread. Try with some Quince Paste and a glass of Alvear Pedro Ximenez 1927.
Piece 2.5Kg / Once opened keep it well wrapped in plastic wrap in a fresh and dark place / 1 year shelf life.
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.
Serve slices or wedges of this pleasant cheese as tapas or snacks with olives, accompanied by sherry, beer or sangria. It is also great served as a light dessert accompanied by traditional membrillo (quince paste), fresh fruit or honey.
Roncal is a Spanish cheese made in the Roncal Valley, in the North of Navarra within the Basque territory, near the French border. It is protected by the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in which the cheese should be made only between the months from December to July from raw sheep’s milk of Rasa and Lacha breeds.
Made from whole milk, our Roncal is a wheel-shaped cheese that is covered with a hard, natural rind dotted by velvety-smooth layer of blue-grey mould. This greenish mouldy surface is occasionally covered in olive oil. Inside the cheese, the ivory white to pale yellow paste is firm, elastic and slightly grainy, with small, irregular holes. As Roncal ages, the creamy interior turns to amber and becomes increasingly tangy. It has a sweet, herbaceous flavour, thanks to the natural pastures of wild grasses, herbs and flowers on which the sheep graze.
Aged for a minimum of 10 months, our Roncal leaves a sharp, slightly spicy and buttery flavour on the palate that goes well with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc or Tempranillo.
Bonito del Norte is considered by Spaniards to be the finest of tunas. Arroyabe is a venerable company from the Basque region, famed for its firm, flavorful tuna.
Generations of Northern Spanish fishermen have sailed the Bay of Biscay in small boats, fishing bonito tuna using both trolling and live-bait traditional techniques in which the fishing rod is used to catch bonito tuna one by one, allowing the best quality tuna to be selected at the time of capture. These tuna fishing methods also ensure that the seabed is not damaged and that other species are not accidentally captured.
Bonito tuna is an essential component of the Mediterranean diet. It is characterised by an exquisite flavour and softer texture than any other tuna. The tuna belly is considered by many connoisseurs to be the most tender and delicious part.
It is a far cry from the water-packed tuna you get at the supermarket. Warning: once you taste this silky smooth tuna, you may never buy another tin of ordinary tuna.
It is great in salads or on sandwiches, as well as a stuffing for piquillo peppers.
Spain is the country that introduced chocolate into Europe in the 16th century; this means that there are skilful Spanish chocolatiers, with hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge. Drinking chocolate or Chocolate a la taza has always been favoured over solid chocolate in Spain and this product is thick, full flavoured and creamy.Thick hot chocolate is also the ideal partner to dip fried churros into. For the authentic Spanish street snack experience check out our frozen 2Kg bags of churros here which make the perfect accompaniment to hot chocolate.
Pedro Mayo is a family business located in Navarra and dedicated since 1847 to the artisan production of Spanish chocolate. All their products are totally artisan, which means the quality of their raw materials is key, which in turn has made Pedro Mayo a prestigious brand in the North of Spain and recognised by the Navarran government.
Pedro Mayo Hot Chocolate powder is the authentic hot chocolate to serve with churros. Each bag of 800g makes 4 litres of hot chocolate which is really easy to make. To serve 4 people, simply heat 500ml of milk in a sauce pan, once hot, add 100g of Pedro Mayo hot chocolate powder, stir well and bring the mix to the boil. Reduce the heat and allow the hot chocolate to thicken before serving. It only takes a few minutes, it is that simple!
100% Chardonnay
One of the winery’s flagship wines. It boasts a magnificent balance between fruit and oak brought about by the careful development of the wine on its lees balanced with its barrel-aging. A regular prize-winner amongst the very best of Spanish wines.
Exuberant and complex aromas reveal a tantalizing blend of varietal characteristics such as hazelnut and toasted bread; tropical fruits, including pineapple and grapefruit, and hints of toasted oak from the barrel-aging. On the palate it is mouth-filling and creamy and develops beautifully with a fresh acidity that finishes in an extraordinarily long finish, during which nuances of toastiness reappear.
Served at between 10-12 ºC, Enate barrel-fermented Chardonnay is ideal with oily fish, white meat, smoked foods and strong cheese.
Mascaro Brandy V.O is distilled with grapes from the Mascaro family’s own vineyards, located in the Penedes region of Spain. The grapes are pressed and vinified in their cellars, followed by a double distillation technique. At Mascaro, they distill and age each holland (distilled wine) separately for each variety and year, using a manual technique that allows Mascaro to give their products their unique personality.
Mascaro Brandy V.O. is aged for a minimum of 3 years in Limousin oak barrels, in a process that is totally controlled by the winemaker of the Mascaro family. The blending of the different hollands (distilled wines) is handmade so they obtain a very personal and appreciated brandy in order to satisfy every customers expectations.

The name Aurora has a long history in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, dating back to the introduction of this wine in 1907. It refers to Aurora Ambrosse Lacave, the wife of Pedro Romero and the owner of the bodega after the death of her husband in 1911. She was a pioneering female executive in the sherry trade. The fact that a woman was running a winery over a hundred years in Southern Spain, does give more singularity to this brand and a source of inspiration to many women. Aurora Amontillado is 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. Aurora Amontillado has a transparent amber colour. On the nose, it carries a pungent and penetrating bouquet of hazelnuts, burnt caramel and wood notes of pleasant complexity. On the mouth, it has a large range of taste sensations with a long lingering finish and a fine expression of its complex oak aged structure and saline flavours. Please note: this is a dry Amontillado sherry.
This sherry marries perfectly with cured meats, game, white meats, wild mushrooms, oily fish and mature cheeses.

It refers to Aurora Ambrosse Lacave, the wife of Pedro Romero and the owner of the bodega after the death of her husband in 1911. She was a pioneering female executive in the sherry trade. The fact that a woman was running a winery over a hundred years ago in Southern Spain, does give more singularity to this brand and a source of inspiration to many women. The bodega is currently owned by Bodegas Yuste, its owner Francisco Yuste has been producing Manzanilla wines for over 25 years. Yuste rescued the legendary brand Aurora and has now incorporated the Manzanilla into his own soleras, resulting in a Manzanilla of 8-10 years old, bottled with minimal treatment. The solera of Aurora has eight stages. In the past Aurora has been bottled as a Manzanilla Pasada but in recent times (in line with the general market tendency) it became a slightly younger Manzanilla. Nonetheless it is still older than most others. Funnily, Yustes wife, daughter and granddaughter are also called Aurora!
Great as an aperitif with almonds and Jamon Iberico, also with any type of seafood but particularly good with Sanlucar King Prawns.

It hints at a light, reduced maturation producing a great elegance. On the palate it begins as slightly piquant with spicy notes.

Our puntillitas, also known as chipirones or baby squid are a very popular ingredient in Southern Spanish cuisine. They are also called chopitos depending where you are.
They tend to be very small, so the best way of serving them is to coat them in harina de freir, a special Spanish frying flour and quickly fry them until golden brown. Serve with fresh lemon and a very cold beer! Be sure to check them and de-quill appropriately!
They arrive as a frozen block which requires defrosting. Then they will require cleaning and debeaking with a sharp knife.
Although our puntillitas are sourced from Sanlucar’s fish and seafood market, they are caught in the Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean. Whole and head on, they are individually quick frozen on the boats to ensure their freshness and packaged in 1Kg packs. Each puntillita measures around 5-12cm in length.
You will receive one frozen pack of puntillitas delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the squid straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking.

A cult gin from Mahon in Menorca, Xoriguer (pronounced sho-ri-gair) is one of the only gins in the world alongside Plymouth to have a geographical indication, Gin de Menorca. It was first made for the Britsh Sailors who were stationed on the Island between 1708 and 1802, who were hankering for some gin.
Xoriguer is still made in the same way, according to the 18th century recipe, commanding a devoted following of happy travellers. Gin Xoriguer is the result of a distillation in traditional copper stills, using high quality wine alcohol (eau-de-vie) and carefully selected juniper berries, which come from the neighbouring Mediterranean mountains, together with aromatic herbs. These herbs are the guarded secret of Xoriguer gin’s original bouquet. Only the Pons family know the identity and proportion of this valuable ingredient, which is added behind closed doors and without witnesses, at the start of each distilling. The respect for tradition is such that the fuel still used today in the distillation is wood.
Gin Xoriguer is briefly stored in casks before being bottled. Xoriguer is the key ingredient in Menorca’s most popular cocktail drink, called pomada. An authentic pomada is made from Gin Xoriguer, lemonade and ice.

One of the most sought after prawns in professional kitchens worldwide, beautiful Carabineros are a large deep-sea prawn species that hail from Eastern Atlantic into the Mediterranean Sea. Known by a plethora of names, to the Spanish and Portuguese as Carabineros, to the English as Scarlet Shrimp or Cardinal Prawns, and to the French as the Crevette Imperiale, they are renowned for their jumbo size and striking bright red colour.
Carabineros translates literally as police, reputedly because the colour of their shells matched the uniforms of Spanish customs police. Yet, their distinct red colour does not change when cooked, as does a lobster shell from blue to red when boiled. More distinct and robust in flavour than other shrimps or langoustines, they are also appreciated for their large size. While their meat is mainly concentrated in the tail, their cephalothoraxes (head and body) are not to be overlooked, and are excellent for making clear and creamed soups and sauces to which it adds flavour and red colour. None of this prawn should go to waste, as Spanish consider the flavour of their heads as a delicacy.
Carabineros are traditionally prepared in Spain by simply cooking them under the grill and salting them at the end. Some suggest that they should be treated as a delicate small lobster versus a simple shrimp. Regardless, they can be poached, sauteed, steamed and are excellent in paellas and robust stews, etc. There are many Michelin star chefs that value the plate appeal of their colour and size when served whole.
With an average weight of 1.1Kg, each box contains between 15 to 20 Carabinero prawns. Whole and head on, they are individually quick frozen on the boats to ensure their freshness. These Carabinero prawns are wild-caught in the Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean (FAO 34).
You will receive one frozen box of carabinero prawns delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the prawns straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking.

Boquerones and anchovies are the same type of fish, the difference is that anchovies are heavily salted and boquerones are not. All boquerones are flash frozen soon after they are caught, to keep them at optimum freshness, then thawed and prepared. They are then chilled and packaged so that they arrive to you with pristine condition.
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.
Boquerones are incredibly tasty, just serve them on crusty bread with piquillo peppers or alone with chopped garlic and parsley. We like to add them to salads or simply skewer them with a pickled guindilla and an olive and serve to guests as a tasty tapa. Boquerones are the perfect pairing to a cold beer. Why not try our seawater beer, Er Boqueron, for a true taste of the sea.
Keep them refrigerated and serve within one week after opening.

Saffron is considered to be the king of the spices. It is obtained from the saffron flower, and more precisely from the three red stigmas. These stigmas have to be hand-picked and toasted almost immediately, a process which is unique and characteristic of La Mancha area. This peculiarity, together with soil and weather conditions allows saffron from La Mancha to be considered the best in the world. From the very heart of La Mancha, Molineta de Minaya presents genuine saffron, full of culinary and medicinal properties for all food lovers. The saffron flower is very delicate and has to be picked at the early hours of dawn. Later the three red stigmas are extracted from the flower. Despite technological advances, no system has been invented to mechanise this process, they are still hand-picked. Finally the red stigmas are toasted at different temperatures, a very complicated process which is passed on from generation to generation. Nearly two hundred thousand flowers are needed to produce one kilogram of saffron. Saffron flowers require at least one thousand square kilometres of farming land, thus it is not surprising that at certain times saffron reached the same price as gold, and was named red gold. Since the 9th century when Arabs introduced saffron into the Iberian Peninsular the process of harvesting and preparation has been perfected until reaching the utmost quality which we can enjoy today. There have been various literary references to saffron in La Mancha since 1720. However the importance which saffron has on many peoples lives can still be shown today through customs. Saffron is given to newlyweds to wish them prosperity. The guaranteeing body of origin from the Mancha recommends that saffron should be packed in threads, never ground in order to ensure that it has not been mixed with other poorer quality saffron. This way it is possible to preserve its rich aroma (enchancing the ingredients of any dish), flavour (adding a slightly bitter touch) and colour (converting a paella into a festival of colour). Molineta de Minaya saffron has ten times more colouring power than any other additive.
Minaya is a small village situated in the heart of La Mancha, to the north of Albacete. Until recently most of its inhabitants took an active part in growing and preparing saffron. Planting seeds in spring, and observing the change in landscape from September to November as the saffron flowers bloomed and the penetrating aroma filled ever corner of their houses. Both adults and children took part in saffron harvesting, and the days when the flowers were in full bloom they had to call on neighbouring villages to lend a hand, to ensure that all the flowers were picked at the right moment thus preserving the final quality of the saffron.
To fully enjoy the qualities of this product it is recommended to grind a few threads in a mortar, and then dilute them in stock. You can find more details on how to use and prepare saffron by clicking on our recipe page here. Ideally the saffron should be added just before the dish is fully cooked. Saffron is famous for its use in rice dishes, however it can also be used in meat, fish and egg dishes, as well as desserts, diluting the ground threads in milk. Saffron can also be used in hot drinks or teas by adding a touch of saffron before serving. Saffron should always be used in small quantities, and should be stored in an airtight container, protected from sunlight and fluorescent light.

Boquerones and anchovies are the same type of fish, the difference is that anchovies are heavily salted and boquerones are not. All boquerones are flash frozen soon after they are caught, to keep them at optimum freshness, then thawed and prepared. They are then chilled and packaged so that they arrive to you with pristine condition.
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.
Boquerones are incredibly tasty, just serve them on crusty bread with piquillo peppers or alone with chopped garlic and parsley. We like to add them to salads or simply skewer them with a pickled guindilla and an olive and serve to guests as a tasty tapa. Boquerones are the perfect pairing to a cold beer. Why not try our seawater beer, Er Boqueron, for a true taste of the sea.
Keep them refrigerated and serve within one week after opening.
