Complex, savoury. Hints of caramel, malted cereal. Masterful Manchego. As good as it gets. Our 1605 Manchego is made at the Sierra la Solana estate, 150km south of Madrid. Here you can find traditional, rustic Mediterranean vegetation, as well as a harsh and extreme climatic environment, ideal for the native Manchega sheep to roam about. The result is a clean, rich-tasting milk with a sweet and malted cereal finish, which translates into elegant, fruity, intense flavours with a long finish. This 11-month minimum matured Manchego has aromas of leather and lanolin. The paste is dense and, on occasion, crystalline. It has a complex savoury flavour with hints of caramel and spices and a long, intense finish. To learn more about Queserías 1605, watch the video here. Net weight: 200g wedge (11 months)

Winner: Silver at the World Cheese Awards 2023 Winner: Gold at the World Cheese Awards 2024 There is a tradition in South West Spain, and over the border in Portugal, of making sheep's milk cheeses called "torta" using thistle rennet, resulting in full flavoured cheeses with a soft, sometimes liquid interior. Finca Pascualete is an interesting example of this unique style of cheese. La Retorta has a smooth, dense and creamy texture and ochre, pungent rind with aromas of mustard and dry hay. Rich in flavour with a pleasant bitterness at the finish. Learn more about this unique cheese, watch the video here. Net weight: Available in two variants: approx. 160g and approx. 480g
