Manchego is aged for 3 months or longer, and is a semi-firm cheese with a rich golden color. It comes in a 10-inch diameter wheel, 5 inches thick with a herringbone design on the rind. It ranges from mild to sharp, depending on how long it is aged.
We’re excited to introduce our newest raw milk find from Spain! This “Sacred Dame” is produced using Murciana goat’s milk in the town of Carpio de Tajo, just outside of Toledo. The goats belong to a cooperative of farmers who also are members of the dairy that make the cheese. They believe in aging the cheese a minimum of 6 months to accentuate the best features of the cheese, which has a full flavor (sweet and grassy) and great protein formation.
This unparalleled raw milk Manchego is exclusively produced using sheep`s milk collected from local herds. Once the milk is collected, Artequeso Manchego cheese is produced following only the strictest of artisan traditions, during which cheesemaker Alfonso Alvarez and his staff keep absolute control over each step of the cheese making process: this includes curd cutting, whey drainage, salting, and finally drying. Once the make process is complete, each wheel is carefully tended to during the affinage process, with particular attention devoted to controlled temperature and humidity levels.
Pressed cheese made from pasteurized sheep’s milk of the Manchega breed, with a minimum maturing period of 90 days.
Capricho de Cabra is a creamy, flavorful cheese produced with milk Murciana goats, which produce milk high in fat and protein to give the cheese its amazing creaminess. The cheese is dense and gives a burst of flavor with a sweet finish.
A semisoft goats milk cheese, Cabra Romero is made from the rich, creamy milk of the Murciana goat. Covered with loads of fresh rosemary and aged for roughly 90 days, it is creamy and silky smooth with a very clean finish that hints of rosemary.
