Using raw milk allows Manchego to retain its natural depth of flavour, giving it a more intense, earthy, and slightly tangy profile compared to its pasteurised counterparts. The texture is firm yet creamy, with a golden ivory paste and characteristic herringbone-patterned rind, which nods to the traditional woven grass moulds used in its production. Flavour-wise, it delivers toasty nut notes, grassy undertones, and a buttery richness, balanced by a mild piquancy that lingers on the palate.
Ideal for cheeseboards, slicing into tapas, or grating over dishes for a bold Spanish twist, this raw milk Manchego pairs exceptionally well with aged Rioja, Amontillado sherry, or a crisp Albariño, bringing out its nutty and savoury complexities. For a traditional pairing, enjoy it with quince paste (membrillo) and Marcona almonds, highlighting its sweet and savoury balance.
