Picos Rústicos Club del Gourmet – Spanish Rustic Breadsticks 150g

Picos are the Spanish snack that disappears from the bowl before anyone notices. Club del Gourmet's rústicos version delivers exactly what the name promises: wheat-flour sticks baked until they're crisp, slightly salty, and unapologetically simple. No pretense, no flour-dusted marketing—just the kind of thing you reach for with a cold drink or set out before dinner guests who know better than to expect fussy.

About this product

Made in Spain, these rustic breadsticks carry the straightforward character of a snack that's been a Spanish kitchen staple for decades. Baked for texture rather than novelty, they're sturdy enough to hold their crunch in a bag, subtle enough to pair with cheese or jamón, and honest enough to enjoy on their own. The 150-gram format is ideal for keeping on hand—substantial for a snack tin, not so large that they lose their crisp before you finish the packet.

How to enjoy

• Serve as an aperitivo with Spanish cheeses, cured meats, or olives.
• Dip into gazpacho or tomato soup for a textural contrast.
• Pack for travel or picnics—they travel better than most crackers.
• Pair with a cold beer, vermouth, or dry sherry.

⭐ Why we love this

Picos rústicos embody the Spanish philosophy of "less is more"—no seed-coat gimmicks or flavour dust, just wheat, salt, and the baker's discipline. They're the snack that appears at every Spanish aperitivo hour, from Madrid bar counters to Seville kitchen tables, proving that simplicity done right never goes out of style.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve these alongside a chilled Fino sherry or Spanish vermouth with a twist of lemon—the slight salinity and crisp bite of the picos amplify the drink's complexity. They're equally at home dunked into a cool gazpacho on a summer afternoon or paired with manchego and Serrano jamón at an aperitivo spread.

📍 From Spain

Club del Gourmet, El Corte Inglés's premium food division, sources these from Spain's established breadstick producers who've perfected the art of the rústico bake. Each batch respects the traditional Madrid and Castilian snacking culture where picos have been the golden standard for over half a century.
