Tomato and cheese salad

This simple and quick recipe is sure to become one of your favourite summer dishes.

In recent years, Spanish cheesemakers have been innovating the cheese sector. Their creativity and desire to offer delightful products have led to combinations of flavours and ingredients never before used in cheese production. Some of the innovative cheeses being produced in Spain include cheese with black garlic, truffle, wine, rosemary, nuts and honey, and black olives – like the one used in this recipe.
