This whole sheep’s milk cheese is From La Mancha, the high, dry plateau of central Spain. Manchego has a Denomination of Origin designation which means it can only be made in an area which spans part of the Spanish provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo. It is made exclusively from the whole milk of Manchega sheep and cave aged. This cheese falls into the 3-6 month cured, or curado, range. Manchego has an inedible rind embossed with a herringbone pattern and possesses a firm, crumbly texture and a distinctive flavor, slightly salty and piquant with herby, grassy notes.
As part of our pre-sliced cheese line, this product is sold by the 11oz piece (with possible variance of up to 1oz higher or lower).
