1605 Manchego
Love this cheese, just enough bite to it. Great with dips or chips. Softens to just right consistency for munching on after being out of fridge for couple of hours. One of my favorites.
Earthy, almondy, and notes of raw sugar; Toothsome with the texture of buttery shortbread; A perfect complement to your tapas spread.
Country of Origin: Spain
Milk Type/Treatment: Raw Sheep
Rennet Type: Animal
Size: 6 pounds
The official re-definition of the Manchego you've known in the past, this medium-bodied cheese is full of sugared almond notes with a sweet hint of hay. Picture yourself on a romantic hillside looking over a herd of sheep as the Spanish sun sets in front of you...then take a bite of this nutty, rustic work of art.
The ranch where 1605 is made has been around since 1878, and the cheese itself is named after the year "Don Quixote" was published by Cervantes. This cheese comes to us from our dear friends at Essex St. Cheese Company, who rely on Mr. Luis Martin to select the best of these wheels for distribution. Made by female cheesemaker Maria, Finca Sierra La Solana also produces grapes and almonds.
This naturally-rinded cheese is essentially naked, begging to be wrapped in something luxurious and sweet. Try with a touch of lavender honey for a silk robe effect, or lace her up in some sweet, sweet raspberry jam as her feather boa. If you really want to make a statement, send this beauty to your palate wearing only fresh grapes and buttery pistachios. Bow-chicka-wow-wow.

I am a huge fan of manchego...... so i had to buy this..... laying in bed before christmas shopping of phone to use a coupon code I had..... and I got the biggest size...... yes i was delightful... I ate it in short order too...... just by the slice....... um um good!
so nutty but like fresh nuts and great texture that makes me want more. it's not spicy like others but i like it for that reason! best manchego ever
Great for grilled cheese
This cheese is an all-star. Tasty but not overpowering. One of the best!
Bought a kilo for the holidays, almost entirely gone. Family loves its rich flavor which pairs well with Serrano ham.
almost like when bought in spain... very nice.
