Slice the mozzarella horizontally and place on a paper towel to dry. Top the mozzarella slices with a slice of Manchego cheese, spread with the pesto, and sprinkle with pine nuts. Stack all the slices back on top, finishing with a slice of mozzarella. Wrap the resulting ball in cling film and press it down with a saucepan to refrigerate overnight. To serve, cut the cheese into 2×4 cm cubes.
