The words are CAMEMBERT, CHEDDAR, HALLOUMI, PECORINO, PARMESAN, STILTON, BRIE, GRUYERE, MANCHEGO and GOUDA, covering soft cheeses, hard cheeses and everything in between from across Europe.
Where does manchego come from?
Manchego is a firm Spanish cheese made from the milk of Manchega sheep in the La Mancha region of Spain. It has a distinctive golden rind with a criss-cross pattern and a rich, nutty flavour. It is one of the most widely recognised cheeses in Spanish cuisine.
What makes halloumi different from other cheeses?
Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese from Cyprus with a high melting point, which means it can be grilled or fried without losing its shape. It has a mild, slightly salty flavour and a firm, squeaky texture that makes it popular as a vegetarian alternative in cooking.
