Manchego with Quince Paste

This classic Spanish pairing of Manchego with quince paste, known traditionally as membrillo, is a timeless addition to any tapas spread or cheeseboard. The distinct saltiness of the aged sheep’s milk cheese provides a sophisticated contrast to the fragrant, floral sweetness of the fruit paste. It is a simple yet elegant vegetarian dish that relies on the quality of its two core components to shine, making it an excellent choice for effortless home entertaining.

Serve these prepared wedges as a quick appetiser before a Mediterranean meal or offer them as a refined alternative to a heavy dessert. The textures work beautifully together, offering a firm bite from the cheese followed by the soft, jam-like consistency of the quince. For a truly authentic experience, enjoy these golden morsels with a glass of chilled dry sherry.
