I love this cheese, is one of my favorites. I didn't know it was good for melting! I'll have to try that
1Mmm!
2If your grocery store or cheese shop sells Membrillo, or quince paste - or even quince jam - it is delicious with manchego! A slice of manchego and a slice of membrillo on a piece of baguette is wonderful. It's like an international version of cheddar cheese with apple pie ...

looove my queso curado..at tapas bars it's sometimes
conserved in olive oil, and best eaten as a tapa with piquitos (short bread sticks), fresh bread, jamón serrano (kinda like prosciutto), spanish green olives, and a nice glass of wine or a
cold beer...*drools*
13I absolutely love this cheese!
14Rachel Ray uses manchego all the time. She probably has some good recipes around.
