This DOP Manchego, produced according to a centuries- old recipe, is crafted with fresh, sweet milk of Manchega sheep. As the wheels age, they take on a more concentrated flavor, a rich golden color, and a firm, crumbly texture. A cured manchego has a more intense flavour, so its prefereble to serve with serrano or iberico ham, olives, quince and crusty homemade bread. This savory, almost meaty Manchego is perfect with a bold Rioja.
ARTISAN GRAND RESERVE

MANCHEGO CHEESE
MANCHEGO IN ROSEMARY
Manchego in Rosemary combines one of the most prevalent herbs of the Spanish countryside, rosemary, with rich sheep’s milk cheese from the La Mancha region. Rosemary‘s pine-like, fragrant flavor is a natural match for Spanish sheep‘s milk cheese. After a period of aging, the rosemary that is pressed into the rind lends the cheese a lovely herb flavor that perfectly complements the nutty sweetness of the Manchego. The herb also gives the wheels a rustic, natural appearance redolent of age-old Spanish culinary traditions. 561179 4/3.5 LB

Historical documents demonstrate that it was used as a form of payment. Cristo del Prado has made these wheels since 1985 in Madridejos, Toledo. The cheese ripens for at least two months, during which time, its yellow paste develops a rich flavor with notes of butter and a lovely brightness.
