Manchego

Size 8 ounce (Photo depicts whole 7 lb. form of cheese). Made from pasteurized sheep's milk. Manchego is Spain's most famous cheese. Produced 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 created by the rippled surface of the press used in the manufacture of the cheese. Underneath the inedible rind, the interior is ivory colored with few small 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 drawn back to again and again. $16.99 Quantity: All our perishable Cheeses & Meats are shipped Monday-Thursday only, separately from the rest of your order by UPS Next Day service ($12.99 plus 25¢ per lb. of perishables in your order). • Sign in to add to your wish list. • Submit Your Rating/Review
