Manchego and Olives Recipe

This Manchego and Olives recipe combines two things often served side by side, Spanish cheese and olives, into one dish. Don't hesitate to experiment with other Spanish cheeses, such as Campo de Montalban, Zamarano, or Mahon. You don't have to only use Spanish olives, like Manzanilla and Arbequina, for this recipe. Mixed Greek olives, French Luque olives and Italian Cerignolas will taste just as great.
