Spanish Cheeses & Accompaniments |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Everyone knows about Manchego but cheese making in Spain is not exclusive to the plains of
La Mancha. There is Cabrales, produced in the Eruopa Peaks of Eastern Austuria or Mahon,
made on the island of Menorca in the Mediterranean Sea. Try a couple of these D.O. cheeses
and maybe you'll kick the Manchego habit. Serve with these accompaniments - classic
combinations - Membrillo with Zamorano; Fig cakes with Valdeon. And don't forget the
Marcona almonds!

Item # 121115
Zamorano is an ancient cheese from Castile y Leon. It is made from raw milk of the region's Churra and Castellano sheep. Its rind has the familiar zigzag pattern of Manchego and the name comes from the city Zamora. This cheese has a slightly dry texture and distinctly nutty flavor. You can serve it with membrillo, ham, melon, pears, tomatoes, crusty bread and a solid red wine.

Item # 121127 & 121128 Ripened in underground caves, Mahon has a bold, magnificent flavor that could never be called mild. The yellowish-orange rind conceals a slightly salty and decidedly spicy interior. This unique cheese is a must try for any cheese lover and an absolute necessity for the true connoisseur. Delicious as a snack, in sauces, salads, pasta and fruits. Mahon is produced on the Mediterranean island of Menorca in the Balearics. Although it is a small island, Menorca produces enough cheese to make Mahon Spain's second most popular Spanish cheese next to Manchego.

Item # 121100
Queso Cabrales is a natural cheese made in the artisan tradition by rural dairy farmers. This cheese can be made of pure cow's milk, but, depending on availability, can also be blended with some goat and/or sheep's milk as well. All the milk used in its production must come exclusively from herds raised in a small zone of production in northern Spain.

The cheese plate wouldn't be complete without:
Marcona Almonds - Spain's most prized possession, known as the "Queen of Almonds." They are sweet and softer than most almonds. Consumed raw but most popular peeled, fried and salted. Membrillo - Also known as quince paste, Membrillo is a classic pairing with just about any of the Spanish cheeses. The sweet, fruitiness makes for a striking contrast with the saltiness of the cheese. Fig or Date Cake - The Fig Almond and Date Almond Cakes are hand-pressed together. Add it to your cheese plate for a wonderful delight. Cube it, slice it thinly, put it in salads, or nosh on it for a snack.
