Manchego is a spanish cheese, used also in
Mexican dishes. It is a firm, mellow cheese,
similar to a slightly aged Jack, with some nutty character. It comes in aged and unaged versions.
Aged Manchego cheese is yellow and great for grating. Unaged Manchego cheese is amost white in color, semi-firm and melts well when heated. It is therefore used cooked in various recipes, or melted on top of
tortilla chips or other snaks.
