Based in Williamsburg, Virginia, La Tienda’s Spanish cheeses find their way onto many tapas plates across the U.S. Valdeón, a blue cheese, is a creamy blend of cow and goat's milk from Leon, Spain, and pairs especially well with fruit and nuts. Another cheese, beloved Arzúa-Ulloa is a light yellow, soft and rich, Galician cow’s milk cheese known for its creamy, buttery profile. In addition, Organic Farmstead Manchego by Mitica provides a more nuanced version of the cheese named for a breed of sheep. It pairs especially well with red wine.
With the right recipes, it’s also easy to enjoy cheese-infused tapas at home. La Tienda offers recipes for Piquillo Peppers Stuffed with Manchego and Sobrasada and Baby Manchego Cheese Toasts – a mouthwatering combo of spreadable chorizo, crusty bread and, of course, Manchego. Other classic Spanish tapas recipes to try at home include Manchego with Honey and Walnuts, Ham and Cheese Croquetas and Queso Frito.
