Manchego DOP Reserve-Extra Aged Cheese - 7.5oz

This special Manchego is aged for over 12 months, giving it a sharper, nuttier flavor, and a firmer, more brittle texture than its younger namesake. It is produced in Central Spain's La Mancha region. Manchego is Spain's most famous cheese. 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. A territory known for its fierce winds, violent temperature swings, and desert-like aridity. Manchego Reserve is made using traditional methods under strict quality guidelines. We especially love this cheese served with Rioja wine and fresh fruit. Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.
