Made from whole raw goat milk, this American original farmstead cheese embodies a rich nutty flavor featuring piquant and caramel-like notes. This artisan original aged Gouda-style cheese has hints of fruity Parmesan and a smooth Asiago finish.
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.
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.
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.
This Manchego is aged for 12 months, and is a semi-firm cheese with a rich golden color and small holes. It ranges from mild to sharp, depending on how long it is aged.

A lightly stiff center when young, complimented by a buzz of tartness. As the cheese ripens, the pate develops a creamier flavor and texture. A hint of sweetness compliments a bit of hum in the finish. At 7-8 weeks, the cheese is fully ripe, soft and gooey, a definitive line shows off the soft edible rind. A murmur of sweetness balances the complex cheese.
