Ode to Manchego

Oh how I crave you, dear Manchego 

I long for your nutty richness 

On my tongue 

My Sweetness, you are delicate in nature 

You are a lover in my mouth 

I hunger for more of you each day 

I no longer can deny 

How you complement the seediness 

Of my cracker 

You give more than I deserve 

You are a well aged 

Beauty Sophisticated, cultured and refined 

So good, you come from the finest breed 

I will travel miles for you 

You never disappoint me 

Faithful and true, aged to perfection 

Unassuming in your greatness 

My dreams make me ache for you 

Full bodied, only you can deliver 

Everything I need 

Wise one, I thank you for your presence 

You fill my indulgent desires with your rustic woody notes

My love-longing satisfied with your fat 

Mi Corazón, mi queso Manchego 

Together, we make the perfect pairing
