MANCHEGO (mon-CHAY-goe)

Description: CASTILLA LA MANCHA-With a delicious briny, nuttiness, it is Spain's most popular cheese. Its cross-hatched rind is a nod to the tradition of pressing its curd into molds made of tough local grasses. This authentic, artisanal cheese is earthy, hearty and wonderful. Pairs naturally with sherry, marconas almonds and tempranillo.
