You sense it immediately – the heady aromas, the intensely fulfilling textures, and the vibrant flavors of Spain’s artisan cheese tradition. Different milks, a diverse terrain, and unique cheesemaking techniques all play a role in the subtle differences in each cheese’s color, texture and flavor. We have selected four of our favorites for this sampler:
-
Manchego: Spain’s most famous cheese, made entirely from pure La Mancha sheep’s milk. Manchego is prized for its rich, complex flavor and its satisfyingly grainy texture. (1/2 lb
) -
Mahon: This firm cow’s milk cheese comes from the Balearic Island of Menorca in the Mediterranean. This version has been aged for three months, developing a rich tanginess and fragrant aroma. (1/2 lb
) -
Idiazabal: Smooth, rich and satisfyingly sharp, Idiazabal is a smoked sheep’s milk cheese that gives off a warming rustic scent. It is the quintessential cheese of the Basque country in Northern Spain. (1/2 lb
) -
Drunken Goat: This 100% goat’s milk cheese from Murcia is bathed in red Spanish wine, making this product a wine-and-cheese party all by itself! (1/2 lb
) - Mini Toasts: Perfect for elegant canapés and delicious snacks, you will love these little toasts from Holland. (2.75 oz.)
