Even though many people think of some other countries when cheese is mentioned, Spain is one of the most famous cheese producers in the world. Majorero is one of the many Spanish cheeses you're bound to enjoy from the first to the last bite. It is made in Canary Islands, which already gives a tone of exotic. Some say this is Spain's best goat cheese, and judging by the taste they're not far from right. It's has a lemony tone, and is excellent when served with oloroso cherry of white verdejo.
Manchego cheese is one of the most famous Spanish types of cheese, and can really be served in a million ways. If you've tried it, then you know that it tastes perfectly even if you eat it by itself, but if you have guests, serving only cheese may seem weird. Making manchego hot dogs will bring a nice mixture of Spain and the States to your place. Take a bun, put a sausage or a hot dog in it, add some rocket, and while the hot dog is hot, add some grated manchego.
People all over the world love pizza and deeply cherish and enjoy the cult. Some prefer making their own pizza dough, some prefer buying the dough which is ready made. So, take the pizza dough ( I always recommend you make it yourself), and cover it with tomato passata (you can also make instead of buying it), add sliced fresh tomatoes on it, add some herbs and sliced manchego on top, and you'll have a lovely Spanish pizza.
Spanish cheese called Torta del Casar is something cheese aficionados are crazy about. However due to its price it is not easily obtainable, and some people get a chance to taste it only once. It is definitely on of the most expensive Spanish cheeses. It comes from Extremadura. Its interior is buttery and as it ripens it gets more and more molten. This adds the aromas of truffle and mushroom, and a tone of bitterness.
True cheese lovers will eat cheese with any meal and any part of the meal. More conservative people stick to the opinion that cheese is not to be used in desserts. However, manchego cheese will be a pleasant surprise for both the group which doubted it, and for those who believed in it. Take a piece of manchego and slice it nicely. Manchego is a rather strong cheese, so try to cut it finely. Put it on a plate, and add some figs, dates and quince paste.
If you want to make a perfect cheese platter, you need to know quite a lot about cheeses. Today literature about anything and everything is available on line, but if you want to serve manchego to your guests, of for yourself, you need to know to pair it with the right wine. Wines which are best served with manchego are wines with a body such as Rioja Tempranillo, which will go excellent with strong manchego. Jerez cherry is also a great companion, as is Manzanilla, for people who like tastes which aren't ordinary.
