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.
Campo de Montalban is a mixed-milk cheese, containing roughly sixty percent cow`s milk with the remainder comprised of goat`s and sheep`s milks. It was originally considered a Manchego, but in 1985 the AOC standards for Manchego were changed to mandate 100 percent sheep’s milk.

MouCo ColoRouge is a natural rind cheese that is reddish-orange in color with a slight white finish. Soft and creamy is a great description for the textures as well as taste and aromas. Mildly earthy tones compliment the slight acidity of the young cheese. As it ages the cheese will start to soften, develop a pronounced buttery characteristic as well as develop a further complexity in its earthy characteristic. MouCo ColoRouge is fully aged at 7-8 weeks. At this point the cheese flavor is quite complex with its buttery creamy flavors as well as a developed earthiness that is spicy and …well…just addictive. The cheese just begins to get gooey when left to warm to room temperature.
