Timeless Excellence – Aged 12-Month Manchego Cheese
Embark on a culinary voyage with Aged 12-Month Manchego Cheese, a celebrated creation that embodies Spain’s finest traditions.
Legendary Origins
This renowned sheep’s milk cheese, celebrated as Spain’s most exported treasure, showcases an array of qualities that captivate the senses. Its name, Manchego, pays homage to La Mancha, a central region intertwined with the mythical tales of Don Quixote. Revered as a legend in its homeland and cherished as a global treasure, Manchego stands tall as Spain’s crowning cheese jewel. A masterstroke of flavor, it strikes an exquisite balance between subtle saltiness and delicate sweetness.
Flavor Symphony
The Manchego experience begins with delightful notes of nuttiness and olives, crafting a palate journey that transitions into a gentle grassy undertone, creating a symphony of flavors that leaves an indelible mark.
H4: Storage & Care
To unravel the fullness of Manchego’s flavors, serve it at room temperature.
Preservation Artistry
Optimal storage involves keeping the cheese within its vacuum pack, nestled within the refrigerator’s cool embrace. The consistently cold and stable temperature becomes the guardian of its essence. Once the seal is broken, wrapping the cheese in plastic wrap and storing it in the fridge ensures its enduring freshness.
Culinary Elegance
For a gourmet indulgence, serve Manchego at room temperature. Let its character dance in harmony with a few almonds, the delightful Picos Utreranos, and a selection of Spanish olives.
Crafted Symphony
Manchego cheese is meticulously fashioned from pasteurized sheep’s milk, gently blended with salt, calcium chloride as a firming agent, rennet, lactic ferments, and the preservative lysozyme (derived from egg). Its rind is lovingly adorned with natamycin for preservation, along with plain caramel and annatto norbixin for coloring. Note that while the rind tells a story, it isn’t intended for consumption.
Delight in the timeless essence of Aged 12-Month Manchego Cheese, a legacy of flavor that transcends time and borders.
