Put down your Manchego. Yes, Zorro may not have been carving his initial into his foes but that "Z" may have been for one of the finest of Spanish cheese, Zamorano. Zamorano is delicious or as Fleming put it, "a darned good cheese. Wow, a great @%$& cheese!" I guess "nutty" is a good description of the flavor.
It looks a lot like Manchego. White, baked-potato color with a brownish, wheat marked rind.
If you have an occassion where you would normally serve Manchego, ask for Zamorano and give it a try.
