I find myself revisiting this cheese again; I bought it for an improvised summer salad. Trust me; eat this:

organic baby arugula
organic blackberries
El Trigal 12-month manchego, grated into large, thin slices
homemade fig vinaigrette (fig paste, high-quality EVOO, white wine vinegar, basil, pink Himalayan sea salt, freshly grated black pepper…all to taste)

Simple and frigging fantastic.

Creamy, nutty, a bit salty, and a bit sharp…this was a very nice cheese! I definitely needed to find a better wine to go with it, though…something dryer.
