DON LORENZO MANCHEGO 12MTH
Description
Min cut 1.5kg, full wheels 3kg. Pastuerised sheep milk.
Manchego has a distinctive flavour and an equally distinctive look. It can be recognized by a unique, zigzag or crosshatch pattern in its rind (created by the rippled surface of the press used to make it). The rind itself is inedible. Inside, is an ivory-colored interior and several small holes. It has an intense, zesty taste and a crumbly texture that's rich, full and slightly salty at the finish.
True Manchego cheese is produced only from the milk of the Manchega sheep. (Other Spanish ewe-milk cheese is commonly referred to as Manchego-style). The Manchega sheep graze mostly on dry pasture, fallow land and stubbly brush fields on a high plateau outside of the cities of Toledo, Albacete, and Cuenca in a region southeast of Madrid.
12 month age profile is slightly drier in texture and will have a stronger flavour.
Serve with quince or membrillo paste. Pair with Verdejo, Tempranillo, Spanish Sherry or beers such as ales, stouts and porters.
