An artisan sheep’s milk cheese cured for about 6 to 8 months.
An older Manchego gets heartier and more flavorful as it ages. From La Mancha region of Spain, this sheep’s milk cheese has a more developed flavor and firmer texture than younger Manchego cheeses. A good blend of salty and nutty flavors, and sweet hints and buttery taste. Excellent to give a tapas or antipasto platter more dimension. Pair Spanish Manchego cheese with red wine.
HOW TO KEEP IT
A good cheese, you have to pamper it. The ideal storage temperature is not to exceed 12-14°C and humidity between 70-80%.
A cave is an ideal place to keep it, but since today it is difficult to have one, the best option is the refrigerator, taking into account that it produces a dry cold and subtracts moisture from the cheese by drying it.
The most appropriate place in our fridge to keep the cheese is the vegetable drawer. To prevent cracking it is convenient that it is always wrapped and protected. If we are not going to consume it soon it is recommended to wrap it in a slightly damp cotton cloth.
The old or aged cheeses are not essential to keep them in the refrigerator since the moisture of the product facilitates their preservation, these cheeses are recommended to be accompanied by a piece of hard bread, this will be responsible for absorbing moisture, which will prevent the cheese mold. This type of cheese in a mud cheese is preserved quite well.
Before serving, the first layer should be cleaned or cut (provided it is oxidized or dried), so that the cheese looks fresh.
HOW TO ENJOY IT
Once the cheese is cut, it is quickly tempered, therefore, removing it from the refrigerator 30 or 40 minutes before serving it is sufficient.
The right temperature to taste it is between 18-20°C. To intensely appreciate all its nuances you have to chew slowly and distribute the cheese through all corners of the mouth, once ingested wait to perceive the final aftertaste, in this way you can appreciate the personality of each cheese.
