Discover the unique taste and texture of Spagnia Manchego Cheeses from Spain at BOSA Foods!
Manchego is arguably Spain’s most well-known cheese, made in La Mancha with whole, full-fat milk of Manchega sheep and produced under strict PDO guidelines.
Look for the characteristic zigzag pattern on the rind of genuine Manchego cheese which is created by the traditional use of grass moulds in the production process. Also be sure the cheese has the PDO seal displayed to guarantee authenticity.
There are specific differences in Manchego cheeses, depending on their aging period.
Young Manchego cheese is aged around 3 months and is supple and moist. The flavour hints of fruit, grass, hay with a tangy note.
Manchego aged for 6 months has a caramel and nutty flavour with a distinct touch of acidity.
Manchego aged for a year becomes crumbly in texture and takes on a butterscotch colour. It has a sweet, lingering taste.
The mildly gamy flavour and hazelnutty sweetness of genuine Manchego cheeses are best paired with a sherry, and are a staple of any tapas menu.
You’ll find three, six and twelve month aged genuine PDO Manchego cheeses at BOSA Foods and other specialty grocers under the Spagnia brand – imported directly from Spain.
When you discover a great Manchego cheese producer like Spagnia, you’ll taste only round, meaty flavours and a distinct, creamy bite.
