Queso Manchego con Aceitunas y Piquillos

This elegant Spanish appetiser, Queso Manchego con Aceitunas y Piquillos, offers a sophisticated balance of flavours and textures. The nutty, firm profile of the Manchego cheese provides a wonderful base for the vibrant, salty tapenade made from cured black olives, sweet piquillo peppers, and umami-rich anchovies. It is a visually striking dish that brings the authentic taste of a traditional tapas bar into your home with minimal effort.

Perfect as part of a party platter or as a light starter before a Mediterranean meal, this dairy-free alternative recipe is naturally full of Mediterranean sunshine. The combination of rich olive oil and fresh parsley lifts the heavier notes of the cheese, making it a crowd-pleasing snack that pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of dry Sherry or a crisp white wine.
