MANCHEGO 12 MONTH, (LB)

I was pleasantly surprised by how creamy it tastes for a 12-month aged cheese, with just the right crumble. It’s perfect for shaving over salads or just snacking with almonds.

The sheep's milk really comes through with a grassy, slightly tangy bite that I wasn't expecting from a semi-firm cheese. I grated some over a bowl of beans and it melted beautifully without turning greasy.

The 12-month aging really comes through — nutty, a little tangy, with that sheep's milk richness. I grated it over a bowl of beans and it melted just enough without disappearing. Worth every penny for a wedge this size.
