Manchego cheese is probably my favorite cheese in Spain and is specific to the area of La Mancha qualifying for the European Union Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). This means that to be classified as true "manchego cheese" it must come from that region, from the milk of a manchega sheep, and mature for at least 30 days. My favorite type is curado which means it has been aged for 3-6 months.
I am no cheese connoisseur and lack the vocabulary to accurately describe the tastes and textures but it's certainly a cheese that I find delicious on its own and not one that I would necessarily add to a sandwich. The flavor is more complex than your average cheese and pairing it with a red wine is a dangerous combination!
