Whole Manchego PDO "Semi-Curado" Cheese, 1 kg

Manchego, a classic of Spanish cuisine

Manchego PDO cheese is one of Spain’s most iconic cheeses. Originating from the La Mancha region, it is recognized worldwide for its distinctive flavor and authenticity.

A Protected Designation of Origin

The Manchego PDO guarantees a cheese produced exclusively in the La Mancha region, made from the milk of Manchega sheep and following strict traditional methods.

Raw milk from Manchega sheep

This cheese is handcrafted from raw milk from Manchega sheep, a local breed that produces rich, high-quality milk.

A “Semi-Curado” aging period of 3 to 4 months

Manchego Semi-Curado is aged for 3 to 4 months. This shorter aging period compared to Curado allows it to retain a softer texture and a milder flavor, while still maintaining the essence of Manchego.

Difference from Manchego Curado

Compared to Manchego Curado (6 to 8 months of aging), the Semi-Curado is softer, less dry, and offers more delicate aromas. It is an excellent introduction to this cheese.

A small whole cheese weighing about 1 kg

Available as a whole wheel, this size is ideal for gradual consumption, cutting to order, or a convivial tasting.

A balanced texture and flavor

Its texture ranges from soft to firm and is easy to cut. On the palate, it offers a balanced flavor with notes of sheep’s milk, a slight saltiness, and a lovely smoothness.

Serving suggestions
