Manchego cheese, with its name, tells us where it comes from, from a tradition rooted in the Castilian-La Mancha countryside and the land of La Mancha. Manchego cheese has a long tradition and a reputation that has been proven for centuries. Its history is that of a cheese protected by a Designation of Origin (D.O.), made from milk from Manchego sheep, reared and fed in the protected territory.
This cheese is known worldwide mainly because of the many references Cervantes makes to it in Don Quixote and Sancho Panza and because it is present on every Spanish cheese shelf in international supermarkets. It is, if not the oldest in its production, one of the oldest, as archaeological remains from the Bronze Age have been found that prove the production of this cheese. There are many variants of this cheese that come from the La Mancha region that are not under the D.O. but are of equally high quality.
In terms of nutritional properties, sheep's milk cheese provides more vitamins and minerals than traditional cow's milk cheese. It is very rich in fat, which provides the body with energy, but this aspect should be taken into account in slimming diets. It is also a cheese with a fairly low lactose content and is a rich source of phosphorus, calcium and sodium.
In general, there are many different types: There are very cured, cured, semi-cured and soft cheeses. They have a slightly acidic, strong and very tasty flavour, with a spicy touch, especially in the very cured ones.
We do not have cheeses with D.O. Manchego, but we do have some very good quality cheeses that are similar to those that have it. If you want to buy Spanish cheese, our sheep cheeses are these.
