What is Manchego Cheese?

Originating from the La Manch region of Spain, Manchego is a traditional sheep cheese renowned for its distinctive flavor profile and texture. Made from the milk of Manchega sheep using traditional cheesemaking techniques, it is aged for varying periods of time. This manchego cheese from El Hidalgo is aged for 3 months prior to packaging, giving it a more mild flavor than older varieties.

One of culinary history’s older recipes, this Spanish cheese has been around for centuries and is widely believed to date back over 2,000 years. Traditionally made by nomadic shepherds, today it is produced in modern facilities, but many of the ancient techniques for making the cheese have been passed down and are still implemented today.
