So I'm looking for a specific type of cheese that I loved while I was over in Spain...it's queso manchego (or Sheep's cheese) it was a wonderful cheese to eat with bocadillos or with bread and oil. Does anyone know where I can find this in the states? Or if I can order it online (i'm desperate).
Thanks!

You should be able to find it at a medium/to up scale grocery store, that has a cheese case. Go to a Whole Foods/Trader Joe's, I don't know if they have those in your neck of the woods, but that is where I would go.

I've seen it in a couple of different grocery stores in CT, so I know you can find it there. Good enough I'd say, but I agree with CascadaDuSel, not quite the same. have you asked around where you live?

I've seen it in Kroger's every once and a while. Other than that, at upscale ethnic stores. It sure is good and usually about $8.00 for a very small sliver.

I don't know where in Pennsylvania you are, but in the Philadelphia area you might try Genuardi's. They still have a good selection of cheeses at the one where I shop. I'll check it out next Wednesday and let you know if I find Queso Manchego.
The Spanish aren't the only people who make cheese from Goat's milk. Try a Portuguese shop.

If Queso Manchego is what you are after, can't find it in your local store, then buy it from an online store. I have bought them at both La Tienda (latienda.com) and Española Meats. Both are in the U.S. and are reasonably priced.
Buen provecho con su queso Manchego!
