Cheese of the Week - Idiazabal

Hola,
I've decided to bring back Cheese of the Week. This past weekend I traveled to Vitoria, Spain and traveled to a village where I bought some Idiazabal cheese. Its so good! This cheese is similar to Manchego cheese, but has a richer, stronger flavor. Both cheeses are made from sheep's milk, but Idiazabal uses milk from a hairier breed giving the cheese a unique flavor. While in Vitoria we traveled fifteen minutes outside the city to the mountains to see the snow, yes to see the snow. We stopped in a town on our way back to the city and I bought some Idiazabal from a street vendor.

Until Next Time,
