Sample the delights of a product that has been made for thousands of years and which has long occupied a place in the history and culture of our land.<\/p>\n<p>Despite industrial advances over the centuries, the tradition of cheese-making by hand is still alive and well in Spain. Whatever cheese you decide to buy, make sure you choose one with the Designation of Origin (D.O.) seal &#8211; a guarantee of quality. The D.O. regulates food production and product characteristics. Protected by European Union regulations, it certifies the quality and authenticity of Spain&#8217;s best known food products such as ham, wine, olive oil and cheese, to name but a few.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/613-manchego-cheese-3086724_001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3845\" title=\"Cheeses of Spain: variety is the key 2\" src=\"http:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/613-manchego-cheese-3086724_001-e1338278874532.jpg\" alt=\"Cheeses of Spain: variety is the key 2\" width=\"530\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Each area of Spain produces its own cheeses.
