Spanish Cheese Assortment (2 pound) by igourmet.com

• Manchego Reserva - Spain's most famous cheese, made entirely from pure La Mancha sheep's milk. Manchego is prized for its rich, complex flavor and its satisfyingly grainy texture. The reserve version is aged for one year.
• Mahon - This firm cow's milk cheese comes from the Balearic Island of Menorca in the Mediterranean. This version has been aged for three months, developing a rich tanginess and fragrant aroma.
• Idiazabal - Smooth, rich and satisfyingly sharp, Idiazabal is a smoked sheep's milk cheese that gives off a warming rustic scent. It is the quintessential cheese of the Basque country in Northern Spain.
• Murcia al Vino - This 100% goat's milk cheese from Murcia is bathed in red Spanish wine, making this product a wine-and-cheese party all by itself!

• Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

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.

I am a huge fan of Manchego cheese, so I ordered this sampler as an indulgence for my husband and myself. It was delicious, and well worth the price. If you're considering this, go ahead and purchase. You won't be disappointed.

I sent these as Christmas gifts to family members who had spent time in Spain this past year. They had loved Spanish cheeses so were very pleased with the gift.

I have ordered this cheese selection twice and it is really wonderful. There is a great selection and all of the cheeses are very tasty. I have served them at parties and received rave reviews from everyone. Only negative is that the second shipment arrived with the cheese very warm inside even though I brought it inside the moment it was delivered and it was in a cooler box with an ice pack which had turned very hot. I was worried it would have gone bad, but it seemed ok. Just make sure that you will be home to get it in the fridge shortly after arrival.
