Category: CHEESE & DAIRY

Manchego is probably Spain's most famous cheese. Produced in La Mancha, this cheese is made only from the whole milk of Manchega sheep. The rich, semi-firm product is aged in natural caves for generally 3-6 months (Schaefer's Manchego is aged 12 months!), which imparts a zest and exuberant flavor. The taste is very distinctive, slightly salty but not too strong. It is creamy with a slight piquancy, and with the characteristic aftertaste of sheep’s milk.

Harper R. ★★★★★

I wasn't expecting such a rich, buttery flavor from a sheep’s milk cheese, but the texture is perfectly firm and creamy. The 8-ounce portion was just right for a week of tapas and sandwiches.

William ★★★★★

The cave-aging really comes through—that rich, semi-firm texture holds up beautifully on a cheese board without crumbling. The whole-milk richness is unmistakable, and the 8-ounce pack was gone way faster than I’d like to admit.

Natalie D. ★★★★★

This Manchego has that perfect nutty, salty bite I expect from the real thing, and the 8-ounce sliced pack is just right for tapas night. It crumbles beautifully over a simple salad, too.
