Rich, earthy, hint of bitterness. Cut off top, scoop and share like a Vacherin. Traditional Torta. Winner: Silver at the World Cheese Awards 2023 There is a tradition in south-west Spain, and over the border in Portugal, of making ewes' milk cheeses using cardoon thistle rennet, resulting in  full-bodied cheeses with a soft, sometimes liquid interior. Queserías de Barros makes an excellent example using the milk of the indigenous Merino sheep. The cheese has an earthy aroma and the soft paste is creamy, rich, salty and full flavoured with a hint of bitterness on the finish. Leave it out of the fridge at least for an hour before eating to warm up and enjoy the gooey centre with breadsticks or crudités.  To learn more about this incredible cheese, watch the video here.

Coated in lard and rosemary, this Manchego-style cheese has a dense and lightly crunchy texture, with buttery and herbal aromas. It is full flavoured and savoury, with a long and balanced finish. As with most Manchegos, this cheese is traditionally paired with membrillo. It also works very well on its own or as part of a cheeseboard, paired with a dry white wine or a dry sherry. The dairy opened in 1987 with the aim of producing authentic artisan Manchego cheese, in the municipality of Villarejo de Fuentes. The village, located in the heart of La Mancha, has always enjoyed clean air and a climate perfectly suited to the production of this style of cheese. With more than 1,500 square meters, the facilities are in a privileged location, where the sheep graze freely offering the best milk for their cheeses. Their mission has always been the same: the production of quality artisan cheeses using traditional methods and always opting for a sustainable agri-food chain. Net weight: quarter approx 750g, wedge approx 200g.

Multi-award-winning Spanish cheese crafted from high-quality Manchega sheep's milk. Springy texture and rich, earthy flavours with hints of mushroom and a balsamic finish. Awards: Winner of Mould-Ripened Cheese in the Gourmet Quesos 2024 Featured in ICEX's Ten Best Cheeses from Spain for Export Awards 2024 Bronze Medal at the World Cheese Awards 2023 Gold Medal at the Mondial Fromage Tours 2023 A 3 - star Great Taste Awards winner in 2025 The name Pi comes from the Greek letter P, which refers to the Penicillium roquefortii on the rind, responsible for the cheese's distinctive appearance. The soft, springy texture is a result of leaving more moisture in the curd grain during production, allowing the cheese to ripen rapidly and develop its full flavour profile. At 45 days old, Pi reaches its peak, offering intense, mushroomy notes and earthy undertones. Pi pairs beautifully with pistachios, red pepper jam, or fresh tomato on toast, making it a perfect addition to any cheese board or tapas spread.

Made on the Hualdo estate in Toledo, this exceptional Manchego is crafted from the raw milk of the farm's own Manchega sheep. The milk is transformed into cheese within hours of milking, preserving its freshness and allowing the character of the milk to shine through. Aged for 10 months, it develops a firm, slightly grainy texture and a rich, complex flavour. Expect notes of toasted cereals and nuts, balanced by subtle vegetal undertones and a long, gently spicy finish. Its deep, aromatic profile makes it an outstanding example of mature Manchego. Produced entirely on a single estate, Hualdo follows a closed-loop farming system, with careful management of grazing, animal welfare and feed production. This integrated approach results in a cheese with remarkable depth, structure and purity of flavour, reflecting both the traditions of La Mancha and meticulous cheesemaking. Serve with soda bread, fresh pineapple or other sweet fruits, and a glass of well-aged red wine.
