Mel i Mató

This is the kind of Spanish snack you’ll make on repeat — mató fresh cheese and honey, 10 minutes, big payoff.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Mató fresh cheese
• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1/2 cup Walnuts

Steps

1. Slice the mató into thick slabs and arrange on chilled plates — cold cheese against room-temperature honey is the contrast.
2. Drizzle generously with your best honey; this dish is only as good as its honey.
3. Scatter the toasted walnuts over the top.
4. Serve immediately as dessert or merienda; Catalonia’s simplest sweet, older than most of its cathedrals.
5. No mató? Fresh ricotta, well-drained, makes an honorable substitute.
6. The rule: three ingredients, zero cooking, absolute quality.
7. Pair with moscatel if you are feeling traditional.
