DON LORENZO MANCHEGO 3MTH
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.
The 3 month age profile has a creamier texture, and not quite as dry in texture as its aged counterpart.
Serve with quince or membrillo paste. Pair with Verdejo, Tempranillo, Spanish Sherry or beers such as ales, stouts and porters.
