$18.74 $24.99 In stock

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.

Evelyn ★★★★★

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.

Michael G. ★★★★★

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.

James W. ★★★★★

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.
