Manchego, 3 months old
Your price:
€ 11,45
Manchego is Spain's best-known sheep's milk cheese. It is named for the province where it is made-La Mancha, home of Don Quixote. However, it is not as flamboyant as the old windmill fighter.

Roncal
Sold out, expected delivery date unknown
Roncal D.O. is a traditional, unpasteurized, hard cheese made from sheep's milk. It has a hard, natural rind covered with a velvety-smooth layer of beige-gray mould.
Aging period lasts at least four months. The firm, elastic interior is slightly grainy, with small, irregular holes. The greenish moldy surface is occasionally covered in olive oil.
The flavor owes much to the richness to the milk. It has a sweet, herbaceous flavor, thanks to the natural pastures of wild grasses, herbs and flowers on which the sheep graze.
As Roncal ages it becomes increasingly tangy. It has a hard beige to gray rind with beige interior which turns to amber with age.

Zamorano has a slightly sharp bite, is buttery with a nutty aftertaste and a texture that melts in the mouth. You need to pair this cheese with a full-bodied red or white wine....
