An extremely creamy hard cheese that, despite its age, literally melts in your mouth with delicately nutty notes and strong, spicy aroma. An aromatic, creamy, flavorful hard cheese that ignites a fabulous tasting experience. Is made according to an old family recipe by Güntensperger with their own lactic acid cultures.
The cheese is made in Posada de Valdeon, in the Castile-Leon region of the northwestern Spain and is wrapped in sycamore maple or chestnut leaves before being sent to market. The cheese has a very intense blue flavor, but is not as yellowed or as biting as its cousin Cabrales. Aged 6 Months
Fresh grated from whole imported wheels here at Italco Food Products. The perfect solution for time saving and convenience – imported Pecorino Romano grated in house and delivered to you free of any starches or additives – Just great cheese.
The average ripening time to obtain the characteristic intense and slightly spicy flavour of our semi-cured cheese is about three months. The texture obtained is buttery and very nice to the taste.The cut is easy, showing a smooth surface, full and shiny.
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. As Campo de Montalban is mixed-milk, its name was changed to reflect its home region. Made in the town of La Puebla de Montalban, its name translates to `the fields of Montalban.
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.
