| Taken from the word tapar, which means “to cover”, tapas are small plates traditionally served in Spanish taverns to accompany glasses of sherry. And while their origin is unclear, the most popular theory is that small slices of bread topped with cured ham were used to cover the sweet wine, serving the dual purpose of keeping flies out of the glass and stimulating the patrons’ thirst. A tapas party can be as simple or lavish as you choose. Here are some uniquely Spanish offerings to get you started. |

| Don Juan Manchego |
| |
| Aged 6 months |
| |
A PDO certified cheese from the La Mancha region in central Spain, Manchego is made with whole milk from pure-bred Manchega sheep raised on registered farms. Don Juan 6-month Manchego exhibits a nice level of complexity and has just the right mix of savory and sweet. Its rich golden paste is firm and surrounded by distinctive herringbone prints that mimic the traditional look when cheese curds were drained and pressed in esparto grass baskets.
