Made in the La Mancha region of central Spain, this cheese dates back to Roman times. Today, large modern co-operatives produce it with traditional methods and the same exceptional local ingredients. Manchega sheep continue to graze on the shrubs and grasses of the Dehesa, thereby producing rich and aromatic milk.
This milk gives Spanish Manchego its deep, nutty character and bold, unmistakable taste.
Producers age each cheese wheel carefully for 12 months before sending it to the factory for final maturation. At the factory, workers turn and check the wheels by hand every week to ensure perfect aging. The finished cheese boasts a firm, dry texture and a long, complex finish with nutty, peppery notes.
Semi Firm Spanish Manchego features an ivory paste and a natural rind with a distinctive basket-weave pattern. Cheesemakers craft it using only milk, salt, rennet, and traditional methods without additives or stabilizers.
Its Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) ensures authenticity and quality in every bite.
Enjoy it with Marcona almonds, Iberico ham, or sweet pairings like honeycomb, dates, or drunken grapes. Additionally, it pairs equally well with bold reds, dry sherry, or sparkling cava. Serve it at room temperature to reveal its full aroma and depth. Semi Firm Spanish Manchego delivers heritage, structure, and elegant flavor to any cheeseboard.
