You can purchase two types of Manchego cheese. One is made from unpasteurized milk, and is the farm house type, while the commercial type is made from pasteurized milk. What ever type you decide to buy, you won't be wrong, just keep in mind it has to be made from whole sheep's milk from Manchega. Manchego cheese won't only reward you with its gorgeous taste, but with the simplicity of preparation. Slice it nicely on a plate, and serve some olives with it. Don't forget a glass or two of wine of manzanilla cherry.
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.
Have you ever heard of manchego balls? They are really easy to make, and are great hit at parties. Buy dough for biscuit, and split into two and make balls out of them. Take a baking dish and distribute the dough evenly across it. Sprinkle some ample butter all over it and manchego cheese (you can cut it into little cubes). Bake as directed for the dough. This goes excellent with beer, although wine lovers will also enjoy it.
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.
Want to make something romantic and sexy that will remind you and the partner of Spanish nights? If you don't have enough ideas, ingredients or time, make sure you get a baguette, some garlic jam, or really finely chopped garlic, and manchego cheese. Also, if you want to enjoy fully, have some good red wine. Toast the baguette, put the garlic jam on it, and add the manchego. Dim the light, ply some slow music, pour the wine into the glasses, and travel to Spain
