Idiazábal PDO is a great Spanish cheese, and a wonderful alternative to the more well‐ known Manchego. The rind is golden brown with a small texture imprinted on it. The paste is firm and pale yellow, and often dotted with small holes in it. The aroma is warm, smoked, nutty and sheep! The texture of the Idiazábal is dry and grainy at first but becomes more smooth as it is warmed in the mouth. The flavor is complex and rich, the taste of nuts, smoke, and sheep clearly identifiable. Serve Idiazábal with fruit or melted over rice and potatoes. It also pairs well with grilled or barbecued pork and other meats. Eat it as a snack with fresh, crusty bread or use it as a grating cheese!
