Artisan semicurado Manchego, raw Manchega ewe milk, organic D.O., is blended with milk and freeze-dried into airy crystalline ivory tiles. The egg lysozyme used in DOP Manchego car ries through to the freeze-dried form. Manchego differs from Parmigiano in fat composition: sheep milk carries far more butterfat than cow's milk, and a higher proportion of medium-chain fatty acids, caproic, caprylic, capric, which carry the lanolin and characteristic ovine notes. When freeze-dried, those acids and their ester volatiles concentrate; the lanolin signature of well-aged Manchego is amplified rather than masked. Show more
