The taste of La Mancha
This Manchego PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) is exclusively produced in the Spanish region of La Mancha. The cheese is made from the milk of the Manchega sheep, a breed that is perfectly adapted to the dry, rugged climate of the area. This gives the milk a unique and concentrated aroma. The cheese has matured for 9 months, which earns it the classification 'Curado' or even 'Viejo'. This makes the structure nice and firm and crumbly, with a distinct, spicy and slightly nutty flavor.
The cheese is immediately recognizable by its dark rind with the famous zigzag pattern, a reference to the traditional braided grass bands that were formerly used to press the curd. Manchego is an absolute star on any tapas board, great in combination with olives, Serrano ham and a robust Spanish red wine. But also melted in warm dishes, this sheep's cheese is an unforgettable taste sensation.
Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this Spanish pride with the utmost care. We only cut your piece of Manchego PDO fresh from the large cheese wheel the moment you place your order. Immediately after cutting, the cheese is packed tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly preserve the delicate structure and rich flavor aromas during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This way you are assured of fresh top quality at home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Manchego PDO 9 Months
What does the PDO seal mean?
PDO stands for Protected Designation of Origin (in Spanish: DOP). This quality seal guarantees that the cheese is exclusively produced in the La Mancha region in Spain, is made from 100 percent Manchega sheep's milk and meets all traditional and strict quality requirements.
Can I eat the rind of the Manchego?
No, although the rind was created in a natural way, it is very hard due to the ripening and treatment and is often treated to protect the cheese. We recommend always removing the rind before consumption.
Why is there lysozyme (egg) in this cheese?
Lysozyme is a natural enzyme extracted from egg white. It is often used in cheese making as a natural preservative to prevent unwanted bacteria during the long ripening process. Because it comes from egg, this cheese is not suitable for people with a severe egg allergy.
Do you also sell other Spanish cheeses?
