Spain's Most Beloved Cheese. Aged to Its Prime. Few cheeses have captured the world's imagination quite like Manchego. Made exclusively from the milk of Manchega sheep — a breed na tive to the sun-baked plains of La Mancha, Spain — this is a cheese with a story as rich as its flavour. Ours is aged a full 12 months, giving it the depth, complexity, and firm texture that sets it apart from younger versions. An indomitable tour-de-force, as someone once said. We couldn't agree more. Tasting Notes 🧀 Texture: Firm and slightly crumbly with a smooth, buttery interior 🌿 Aroma: Warm, grassy, and gently nutty ✨ Flavour: Rich and savoury with notes of roasted nuts, caramel, and a pleasant tang from the sheep’s milk Details Region: La Mancha, Spain Milk: Pasteurized sheep’s milk (Manchega breed) Style: Hard, aged 12 months Pairs beautifully with quince paste (membrillo), Marcona almonds, a glass of Rioja, or any of our cheese boards.
