Monchego cheese
Omg, wonderful flavor and creamy texture. First time tasting. Will definitely buy again.
Smooth and meltable. The taste of tradition mixed with comfort and pure, simple bliss.
Country of Origin: Spain
Milk Type/Treatment: Pasteurized Sheep
Rennet Type: Animal
Pick any word that one might use to describe cheese. Buttery? Nutty? Grassy? Rich? Yummy? All of these describe Manchego, and it's easy to see why this has been a bestseller at our shops for years.
Not only rich in flavor, Spain's most popular cheese is rich in history as well. Southern and Central Spain hosted many an ancient dispute over pasture lands between the Christians to the north and the Muslims to the south. Conquered by King Alfonso VI, the Muslims were forced further south, and the region was left in political turmoil. However, because of the discord, the farmers of La Mancha formed cooperatives which made the socioeconomic fabric of the area much stronger.
You can Manche-go your own way with this one, but it's a sandwich cheese at heart. Melt it on anything and pair with a Rioja Tempranillo or sherry for dessert.

I'm not a cheese connoisseur, I've actually been very cautious eating cheese as I'm lactose intolerant (and if that's your situation then I suggest you read their FAQ about lactose). This cheese, paired with their strawberry & prosecco jam on a cracker was divine! I received this as a gift and ate it all within a couple days, then ordered 3 more!! The local store has manchego but it is not even close to good as this one!
Received this as a gift and I’m so hooked, I tried getting Manchego at the local store and it was not nearly as good as this one so had to place an order to refill my fridge!
Love this cheese with the burnt caramel sauce on crackers or bruschetta.
Delicious
