Mahon - pasteurized cow's milk semi-soft cheese, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Spain.
Semi soft cheese of Menorca Island. The flavor is fruity and nutty and becomes more intense with age. Delicious as a snack, in sauces, salads, pasta and fruits.
Mahon cheese has a bold, magnificent flavor that could never be called mild. The yellowish-orange rind conceals a soft, slightly salty and decidedly spicy interior. This unique cheese is a must try for any cheese lover and an absolute necessity for the true connoisseur.
Compliments: Goes well grated over pasta or as an appetizer with olive oil.
Appropriate wines: Rioja Alta, Penedes, young Cabernet. You can also try with a beer.
