Manchego DOP/PDO is Spain’s most famous cheese, crafted from 100% Manchega sheep’s milk in the La Mancha region and protected under Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) status. Aged for six months, this 'semi-curado' version develops a firm, compact texture with a rich, nutty depth, balancing buttery smoothness with a slightly piquant finish.
During maturation, Manchego forms its characteristic herringbone-patterned rind, a nod to its historic moulding in woven grass baskets. The interior is pale ivory with small, irregular holes, offering a dense yet creamy mouthfeel. The flavour is buttery and well-rounded, with notes of toasted nuts, caramel, and a subtle grassy undertone, reflecting the unique pastures of La Mancha where the sheep graze.
Manchego DOP (6 Months) is perfect for cheeseboards, slicing into tapas, or melting over dishes for a rich, savoury boost. It pairs beautifully with full-bodied Spanish reds like Tempranillo or Rioja, as well as quince paste (membrillo) and Marcona almonds, enhancing its sweet and savoury complexity.
