“Your “chorizo vela” is the best one I have tasted made outside of Spain” - Angel Moretón, CEO of e-Spain, Valladolid.
(Convener of Australiasia International Tapas Competition).
Our family [Martinez] is from Valencia, Spain and we've been in the food business for over 30 years. Now creating traditional Spanish chorizo, sausages and charcuterie (cured meats) in Nueva Zelanda so you can truly enjoy the authentic flavours of Spain.
“Thank you so much for making your beautiful chorizo. I have been trying to find authentic chorizo in NZ for so long and finally I have. I have made chorizo and potato tacos and lentejas estofadas. Will definitely buy again, and again, and again.
You have made my day and even my year. Muchisimas gracias, Lisa”
Authentic chorizo is a flavour unlike any other sausage. It's an enthusiastic sausage deliciously intense, rich and distinct, instantly recognisable and oh so moreish.
Using the best of ingredients from New Zealand and Spain (we directly import our own Pimentón de la Vera) we've created the authentic flavours, just like you get in España. We only make the real thing - it tastes so much better. No fillers, no artificial flavours, colours or syrups. And definitely no shortcuts.
It really is at the heart and soul of Spanish cuisine. So good.
”These are ridiculously good. Will buy again!”- Susan C

“Thank you and congratulations on making fantastic sausages. I missed the taste of good sausages. I saw your sausage in New World and I optimistically thought i'd give it a try, but deep down i thought it was likely to be yet another plain New Zealand sausage, but then, i took a bite and the flavour exploded in my mouth and made me a very happy man!”
So Thank you so much! - Max G, Christchurch
“Hi Guys, Just to tell you I had a couple of your Chorizo sausages at Bobby Franks in Nelson. The sausage tasted so delicious and reminded me so much of Southern Spain. Wonderful stuff beautifully crafted and thanks again.” - Des C, Nelson.
“I just wanted to say that your chorizo fresco is the best chorizo I've had here in New Zealand. I come from the US originally and have lots of family in Mexico and have always loved a tasty chorizo.

“A pat on the back. As a retired chef having a lifetime passion for Spain, my wife and i lived and cooked just north of Alicante for a few years.
On return to New Zealand we were so frustrated by the 'stuff' being sold here as chorizo. That is until yesterday when we discovered your product at the local Vetro outlet. So good to find chorizo as it should be, keep up the great work.” - John H, Napier
