So, I drove out to Plano today, doing errands, but I knew I had to stop by Sprouts and Central Market since I was strolling through the neighborhood. I wanted to see how much their Manchego cheese was, since at Scardello it was 34.99 a lb... (side note: Manchego: This is probably the most famous Spanish cheese and has its own Denomination of Origin. The Denomination of Origin is located in the center of the Peninsula, in the Castilla-La Mancha region. According to the regulations of the denomination, the cheese must be made from the milk of Manchego sheep, Entrefino breed. It is piquant, buttery and has a nutty flavor as well. It is soft and crumbly in texture)
They didn't have it but Mr. Cheese Specialist didn't want me to go away empty handed! He instead, tried me out on another couple of cheeses, one goat then my new Gouda (see picture!) Apparently, aged gouda gets tangy... I thought, well yes it does! So it's a great new cheese find, an affordable little chunk came home with me. =) Oh delicious cheese.
