Manchego is the best known Spanish cheese, and our range of Manchegos all have a Denomination of Origin from La Mancha to denote their quality and the fact that they are made solely from the unpasteurised milk of the Manchega sheep. These vacuum-packed wedges, weighing a minimum of 270g, are cured for at least 4-5 months to give a cheese that is creamy and full-flavoured.
