WHAT IT TASTES LIKE: Rich, creamy, sweet, piquant, aromatic, fruity and savoury, with subtle nutty notes and an aftertaste of sheep's milk. Ivory-coloured paste with a firm texture.
WHERE IT COMES FROM: Manchego is Spain's most well-known cheese and makers claim that it has probably been around for at least 2000 years. Manchego is usually made from the milk of Manchega sheep which graze the tough vegetation of the La Mancha plain, an arid plateau in central Spain.
