I have worked with imported cheeses for most of my life, and it's great to see Spanish cheeses get their due. Spain is right up there with France as far as variety, great flavors, and quality goes. What they are behind on is marketing. Spain is where France was 30-40 years ago. Now there is a huge interest in Spanish cuisines -wines, tapas, and fine cheeses.The cuisine is large and complex enough that chefs will be playing around with it for a good long time. This selection is an outstanding introduction to Spanish cheeses. Different milks-Manchego and Idiazabal are sheep, mahon is cow, and Murcia vino is often nicknamed "The Drunken Goat" due to it's milk and that it is marinated in a local Murcian wine. There are different textures and also different geographical areas represented as well. If you have any interest in Spanish cuisine, this is an outstanding launch pad to get you started. Spanish cuisine is not a new whimsey that U.S. chefs are going to beat into the ground.(Remember truffle oil on EVERYTHING?) You'll see Spanish products, techniques, and innovations for a long time. These versatile and yummy cheeses will get you started to watch the upcoming parade of spanish foods.

Wonderful Cheeses November 16, 2003

Everyone in my family loves cheese and we especially love French and Spanish cheeses. We recently received this cheese assortment as a gift and we really loved all of them.

Our favorite cheese in this group was definitely the Manchego. It was decadently rich and creamy and the flavor transported me back to the days when I was a student, hitchhiking my way across Europe.

Neither my wife nor I had ever had the Mahon Reserva, but we really liked it. It's sharp and tangy, so we ate it in much smaller portions than the Manchego. We had never had the Idiazabal, either, and I have to say this smoky cheese has become one of our family's favorite, rivaling even the Manchego. It's perfect for cooler weather or to nibble on with an apple, a loaf of crusty bread and a glass of full-bodied Rioja.

The Murcia al Vino was divine. This is a special cheese and one that we love sharing with friends. All of the cheeses in this Spanish Cheese Assortment make a wonderful gift for yourself or for the cheese lovers in your life.
