MANCHEGO CHEESE PDO

Pressed cheese made from whole milk from Manchego ewes with Protected Denomination of Origin, and ripened for a minimum of 90 days. 

Pasteurized Manchega sheep cheese and pressed paste. Sometimes the paste may have eyes though it is not a requisite.  The colour can be ivory white or yellowish, depending on the maturation time of the cheese. 

Younger versions of Manchego have aromas of slightly sour cream and cheesecake and sweet, tangy flavors with notes of hay, grass, and fruit. As cheeses mature  (12 months), the flavors mellow and become more rounded, gaining notes of caramel and nuts, while maintaining a pronounced acidity. The flavor is sweet and lingering. 

Spanish Cheese SL's Manchegos are matured for 3, 6 and 12 months. Our Manchego PDO 12 months was awarded by the International Taste Institute with 3 starts SUPERIOR TASTE AWARD.
