Mahón -A Spanish Cheese Heavyweight
Are you looking for a cheese that is tempting, a bit salty and nutty but not overpowering? Our latest suggestion is Mahón, a traditional semi soft cheese produced from cow's milk on Minorca, an island off of the Spanish coast. It is a wonderful Tapas cheese, served before dinner with some salty olives and a nice young Rioja red wine. Try it the traditional way, spliced, then sprinkled with an extra virgin olive oil, black pepper and tarragon.
You can find this and many many other terrific cheeses in our extensive cheese department at the very beginning of your shopping trip. We hope that you enjoy this little tip.
