manchego cheese

[LauraMc]

I bought some manchego on Wednesday night that was in the refrigerated section at The Cellars. When we got home, my husband carried in the box of booze and I didn't realize he didn't put anything up. I asked him about it tonight and the cheese was still in the box. It was aged 6 months, so I'm thinking it's okay to eat but does anyone know?

Before the days of refrigeration, many fresh cheeses were smoked and aged to preserve them. I'd say go for it, Laura! I hope y'all didn't forget the quince paste!

what's happening Man-chego? it should be good to go with some Spanish Red, olives, and almonds...enjoy!

Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! And as Jeeves said, don't forget the quince paste.

Try making one of Laurentino's tapas. A crusty piece of bread, some serano ham, manchego and topped with a good briny black olive. And a Priorat to wash it all down.

Had some last night...... not with quince but a Restoration Ale. I've gotten into a habit of buying little chunks of cheese and snacking on them.
Stopped by Whole Foods last night. I'm so glad I don't live closer to it. $145 for 1 bag of groceries. Of course, that includes two filets, lamb chops, 4 different cheeses and New Orleans Ice Cream for hubby and mango freeze for me. Oh yeah, and more Restoration Ale.
