Our Favorite 5 Spanish Cheeses All Come Together Spectacularly In This Epic Cheese Tasting Gift Box 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 Smoked: 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)Garrotxa: this traditional Spanish goat cheese from Catalonia offers a balanced, mild flavor profile with earthy, milky, and slightly nutty notes, complemented by a subtle citrusy acidity. The texture is semi-firm yet creamy, making it perfect for slicing or chunking. (1/2 lb)The Truffle Kid: This luxurious truffle-infused goat cheese is made with rich milk from the Murciana goat, pierced during aging, allowing black truffle paste to be infused throughout the cheese. The result is a stunning marbled appearance, and a bold but balanced truffle flavor. (1/2 lb)Membrillo Quince Paste: This sweet classic Quince paste is the traditional accompaniment to savory Spanish cheeses. (10 oz.)Mini Toasts: Perfect for elegant canapés and delicious snacks, you will love these little toasts from Holland. (2.75 oz.) Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value. Spanish Mahon Cheese DOP Mahon is produced on the island of Menorca in the Balearic Islands, off the coast of Spain. Although it is a small island, Menorca produces enough cheese to make Mahon Spain's second most popular cheese next to Manchego. A 100% cow's milk cheese, Mahon comes in large squares of about six pounds. Ripened in underground caves for at least 60 days, Mahon has a bold, magnificent flavor that could never be called mild. The yellowish-orange rind conceals a soft, 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. Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Photo depicts whole 7 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by hand. The Truffle Kid This luxurious truffle-infused goat cheese is made with rich milk from the Murciana goat, pierced during aging, allowing black truffle paste to be infused throughout the cheese. The result is a stunning marbled appearance, and a bold but balanced truffle flavor. Spanish Manchego Cheese DOP Manchego is Spain's most famous cheese. Produced in La Mancha in Central Spain, true Manchego is made from 100% sheep's milk. Cheeses from Spain are commonly made from sheep's milk because most of the territory is rocky and dry-- unfriendly to cows but suitable for raising goats and sheep. The abundance of wild herbs on Central Spain's grazing lands gives Manchego a special taste and aroma. Its flavor is zesty and exuberant, while its texture is firm, but not dry. Manchego can be recognized by the zigzag pattern etched into its rind. This is created by the rippled surface of the press used in the production of the cheese. Underneath the inedible rind, the interior is ivory-colored with few small holes. Taste Manchego for the first time and you will be surprised at how long the wonderful flavor lingers on your palate. It is an experience you will be drawn back to again and again. Spanish Smoked Idiazabal Cheese DOP This handmade, unpasteurized sheep's milk cheese comes from the Spanish Pyrenees. Idiazabal is naturally smoked with a hard, but edible, orange-brown rind. In the old days, Basque shepherds lived in small mountain huts and had no space to store and age their cheeses other than inside their stone chimneys. As it turned out, people enjoyed the smoky flavor that the cheese acquired from aging inside the chimneys, and Idiazabal spread throughout Spain. Today, Idiazabal is produced in more modern facilities, but the process is still all-natural. The cheese is as delicious as ever, and the quality is more consistent. We love its perfume-y bouquet, and rich, buttery flavor and enthusiastically recommend Idiazabal as one of Spain's greatest cheeses. Garrotxa Cheese This traditional Spanish goat cheese from Catalonia offers a balanced, mild flavor profile with earthy, milky, and slightly nutty notes, complemented by a subtle citrusy acidity. The texture is semi-firm yet creamy, making it perfect for slicing or chunking.
