I too came across the Manchego cheese slices and we are nowhere near the Tex-Mex border. The package was processed Manchego cheese slices and was in english. My wife and I, who love Spanish Mamchego - the real stuff, laughed as we noticed the quesadilla notation. As Spanish as tacos!

I saw this stuff a number of months ago, too...and succumbed to temptation. :p Three nights in intensive care, a quadruple stomach pump, and thirty pounds later, I yet live to tell the tale. Just say no, Nancy, just say no.

This sounds me like if Kraft had 'stolen' the name. Manchego it's not a trademark, it's like a quality origin name but here in Spain it has to proof the origin from La Mancha and I think it has to be with 100% sheep milk.

From my four years in Mexico, Manchego (mancheco?)cheese is as common as chorizo and most people may not even know of both products Spanish origins. After two weeks in the DC area, I've seen imported Spanish Manchego cheese in three groceries in Arlington.

So Chris, is it likely that manchego cheese that Mexicans are familiar with is as different from Manchego cheese as Mexican chorizo is from Spanish chorizo?

Yes, Oso, but if Parmesan winds up having the texture of say, Brie, it certainly would make a difference!

Hi All!
I'm in the DC area too, and have been finding all kinds of Spanish cheeses (with the little Spanish flags on them!) lately! Manchego is fairly common now around here, and last week I found MAHON cheese at a local grocery store! I hadn't even heard of it before, but had to try it--and it's GREAT! It's like a very sharp cheddar cheese.
I've seen and tried Mexican chorizo in the past, but it's just not the same, but last week I actually found Spanish 'style' chorizo, I bought it but haven't tried it yet...I'll report back when I do.
Buen Provecho! -GG

This stuff just says "milk"...so I must assume it is cow's milk. And there is no way it could be crumbly!
