Don Juan 6 Month Aged Manchego Cheese

Don’t be fooled by imposters! It must pass inspection and be certified by the Consejo Regulador and receive a certification stamp like the one on Don Juan Manchego Cheese. The hand-pressed cheese is aged for a minimum of two months and has a distinct bouquet and aroma. With its intense flavor a slight piquancy, Manchego should have a place on every cheese plate. It’s also delightful on it’s own or paired with fruits and nuts.

This cheese has a flavor that is zesty and exuberant while its texture is firm but not dry. Manchego can be recognized by the zig zag pattern etched into its rind. Underneath the iedible rind, the interior is ivory colored with a few small holes. Very mild aroma. Firm, but very smooth paste, somewhat oily to the lips with a gently nutty flavor and finish.
