Manchego, Artisanal. Manchego, the famous Spanish D.O. sheep's milk cheese, is made exclusively from the milk of sheep grazing upon the plains of La Mancha, the land of Don Quixote. This gold medal Artisanal Manchego is made from raw milk and aged for several months. It is nutty, sweet, and tangy with a firm texture. After 12 months it becomes tastier, saltier and excellent for grating. Raw Artisanal Manchego pairs well with roasted peppers and rustic bread, and also quite nicely with medium bodies Spanish red wines. Pair Manchego with Tempranillo. |
