Manchego Cheese

Originating from La Mancha in Central Spain, Manchego cheese is produced from Manchega sheep’s milk. It is a semi-hard type of cheese, uniquely identified by its inedible herringbone rind and sweet taste. Its flavour and texture sharpen with age. Pair with honey, almonds, or marmalade.
