Traditional Spanish Croquetas - 1kg

Spanish Croquetas

Quite simply, some of the best croquetas we’ve ever tasted — and we’ve tasted a fair few.

Forget the rather uninspiring frozen potato croquettes lurking in the supermarket freezer. These are the real thing: authentic Spanish croquetas, handmade in the traditional way and just like those you’ll find gracing the counters of some of the finest pintxos bars in Barcelona and Madrid.

Unlike potato-based croquettes, these are made with a rich, thick béchamel, generously filled and full of flavour. Each croqueta is individually hand-rolled, coated in breadcrumbs and made using carefully selected, high-quality Spanish ingredients.

The result is everything a proper croqueta should be: wonderfully crisp and golden on the outside, soft and creamy in the middle, with the distinctive flavour of jamon, gambas or spinach and goats cheese.

Making croquetas from scratch is great fun, but it's also a labour of love. These take away all the hard work while giving you the authentic Spanish experience at home.

Perfect for tapas & pintxos

Serve them simply with a cold glass of Spanish wine or beer, or add them to a larger tapas spread. We particularly like them with a spoonful of allioli and a fresh tomato salsa.

Cooking

Cook from frozen.

Deep fry in medium-hot oil until crisp and golden, or shallow fry in small batches, turning regularly, for approximately 3–5 minutes until beautifully golden and crunchy.

Remove with a slotted spoon, allow to drain briefly and serve immediately while piping hot and deliciously creamy inside.
