Made in La Mancha in Central Spain, true Manchego is made from 100% sheep’s milk. Cheeses from Spain are commonly made from sheep’s milk because most of the territory is rocky and dry; unfriendly to cows but suitable for raising goats and sheep. The abundance of wild herbs on Central Spain’s grazing lands gives Manchego a special taste and aroma. Its flavor is zesty and exuberant, while its texture is firm, but not dry. Manchego can be recognized by the zigzag pattern etched into its rind. This is produced by the ruffled surface of the press used in the production of the cheese. Underneath the inedible rind, the interior is ivory-colored with few little holes. Taste Manchego for the first time and you will be surprised at how long the wonderful flavor lingers on your palate. It is an experience you will be attracted back to again and again.
