Unique taste and texture
The taste and texture of DO Manchego cheese have made it possible for this cheese to obtain protection of origin in La Mancha.
The product is made with the best quality raw material. Our products have legal protection over similar products as, even when using similar ingredients, they can use procedures which lower the costs and, therefore, the final price of the product and of course the taste shall not be the same.
The history of Manchego cheese is as old as the sheep in this region, and time has not changed the essence of its manufacture and quality. It maintains its cylindrical trademark shape, its compact white, ivory and yellowish paste with irregularly shaped and distributed holes, as well as the external appearance with the flower imprinted on the flat faces and the 'pleita' (braided fibres) on the side face.
How can I tell if it is DO Manchego cheese?
Manchego cheese, regardless of its curation and the manufacturing process, must comply with a series of regulations established by the Regulatory Council of this Protected Designation of Origin. The requirements all Manchego cheese must meet to be recognised as such are:
- The manufacturing, ageing and production process of the cheese must be done in an area covered by the Designation of Origin, which includes the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Toledo and Cuenca.
- The milk must come exclusively from Manchega sheep and be free of medicine and impurities.
- Minimal ageing of 30 days for cheese weighing 1.5 kg or less and 60 days for heavier weights.
- Cylindrical shape, flat faces marked with a line design dividing it into four parts. The side is also marked with a zigzag design which resembles the traditional esparto straps or moulds.
- Hard rind, compact firm paste, intense smell and slightly acidic, strong and tasty flavour.
- The corresponding labels supported by the Regulatory Council:
- There must be a label accrediting the Designation of Origin Manchego cheese. The term 'Designation of Origin Manchego cheese' must appear on the commercial label of the cheese. If it has been made with raw milk, the word 'artisan' or 'artisanal' shall also appear.
