Manchego

Cheese: Type 2

Related: Pecorinos, Zamorano, Petit Agour

Origin: Produced for Mitica, in Central Spain.

Story: Manchego is the most well known and popular of the Iberican cheeses. Because of high demand and production, much of the Manchego out there is of inferior quality. That’s a shame, because Manchego can be a fantastic cheese, given proper aging, and quality production. Our Manchego is extra aged, with a dry paste and is salty, slightly sharp, and has a nice grassy/floral note.

Pairings: Red wine of any sort, Dark Lager, Gin and Vodka
