.. Down my path | *Queso Manchego*...

Straight from.. The Source | Across the sea | To the $tones

It is genuinely, the best queso. or cheese.  I ever ate... (I've, eaten a lot of cheese)...

  *Thank you* Madridos | Sisters & brothers of Mr Goya and the La Mancha countryside...


Subtle colour

Herring pattern (Grass - Food of the sheep)

The first bite: Bloody 'ell....    * Delicious... 


So generous..  I'm there, with this taste... 
The Sheep rendering is tender & knowing.. + Herring (scale) grass imprint  as a 'rind' links it closely with Dungeness

 They are here: Shop online OPTA  - http://www.quesoshuete.com

This one - 'BLACK label' - Madrid style

*Los Madridos | Hit the beach*

*Extremely welcome they are too - 'They' will make this kind of stoffe.. To teach us.. Those clever truths..

I Likes it all.. Madrid & the mountain | The Krazie rose garden, the fountain of Beelzebub.. The canary Street ... The 'considered' food - Quite a good 'High up effective train station' Goya the ' true master' - Velasquez.. 'The wicked comedian | 'Royal' showman .. El Prado of course..
*More or less everything, about those.. lovely. Kind & truly warm hearted generous people..

As a travelling man.. I saw it.. (Madrid) in the freezing winter.


Went back in the summer | Winter was the best..
