A snacking classic that never disappoints arrives at Lidl this Friday for just €1

In Spain, the aperitif is part of the gastronomic culture and of the daily life of millions of people. It can serve either as a prelude to the main meal or as the perfect excuse to share some time with family or friends. It is not just about eating something quick, but about enjoying familiar flavors that evoke tradition and comfort. 

In this regard, supermarkets play a key role when it comes to bringing accessible and practical options closer to households. In recent years, frozen products have gained prominence because of their ease of preparation and good preservation. Lidl, aware of this trend, is putting on sale some ham croquettes that promise to become one of the most talked-about items of the week.

Their arrival stands out not only because of the reduced cost, but also because of the support of consumers. All of this makes them an attractive option for those who are looking for a simple and effective aperitif.

A product well valued by consumers

These ham croquettes have managed to stand out compared to similar products thanks to their balance between flavor and price. In October 2025, an independent organization carried out a tasting with 200 consumers, comparing them with another product with similar characteristics. The result was clear, since this product was the winner in sensory preference and overall rating.

The format also works in its favor, because the package includes 17.6 oz (500 grams) of product. Inside, consumers can find between 14 and 20 units, a suitable quantity both for an occasional aperitif and for an informal meal. This detail is especially useful for those who are looking to control portions more effectively.

One of the most striking aspects is their sale price. Lidl will offer these croquettes for only 0.99 euros, compared to the original price of 1.29 euros. This 23% discount reinforces their appeal and turns them into one of the most economical options within their category.

The croquettes will be available starting on Friday, January 30, and they can be found in Lidl's frozen section in all stores. As usually happens with this type of promotion, high demand is expected from the first day.

Quick preparation and adaptable to any kitchen

In addition to their price and flavor, these croquettes stand out because of their ease of preparation. They do not require experience in the kitchen or special utensils, and in a few minutes they can be ready to serve.

The most traditional way to cook them is in a frying pan with plenty of hot oil, where they only need between 3 and 4 minutes to reach the right point. The result is a crunchy texture on the outside and creamy on the inside. It is an ideal option for those who are looking for the classic flavor of always.

They can also be prepared in an air fryer, an increasingly common alternative in many households. This method allows users to reduce the use of oil without complicating the process. In both cases, the preparation is quick and simple.
