Ibérico Ham Croquetas, Frozen, 1kg

£24.50

Rich and savoury. Crisp on the outside. Creamy bechamel inside. A fantastic tapa.

Croquetas are a typically Spanish finger food, great for parties, made from bechamel - rather than potato like the French croquettes. Crisp and golden brown bites these ones have cubes of iberico ham with a savoury and satisfying flavour.

Our frozen croquetas are a convenient way to enjoy this classic tapa without compromising on flavour and texture. They are to be deep fried from frozen for 4 min., although you can leave portions in the fridge defrosting but by doing this they will fry faster and will be much creamier.

*Brindisa will take all due care to package this item in a way to keep it frozen for up to 24 hours, and goods must be unpacked immediately upon delivery. If you are based in one of the delivery areas where we can’t guarantee next day delivery, please consult our Customer Service team for advice. Items that have defrosted in transit may be treated as fresh, with a reduced shelf life.
