- An artisan sheep's milk cheese cured for about 3-4 months. In the tradition of all Manchego cheeses, this Manchego cheese is rubbed with oil to give it that smooth texture and distinct taste. Not as intense as aged Manchego cheeses, this has a great mild flavor, subtle aroma and pleasantly mild spiciness, that tastes great with omelets, salads, pasta, potatoes, and rice. As for drinks, it pairs wonderfully with medium red wines.
