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.
