Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 20 min

Ingredients

• Manchego cheese – 250 g
• Quince paste – 180 g
• Toasted almonds or walnuts – 60 g

Method

STEP 1
Remove the manchego from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving so the texture and aroma can open up properly.
STEP 2
Cut the cheese into thin wedges or rectangles and cut the quince paste into similarly sized pieces.
STEP 3
Arrange the manchego and quince paste on a board or platter, alternating them or placing them side by side.
STEP 4
Scatter the toasted nuts around the platter for a little extra crunch.
STEP 5
Serve at room temperature so guests can combine the cheese and quince themselves.
