Manchego


All Manchego must be produced from the milk of the Manchega sheep and has a braided basket-weave imprint in the wax rind. It's usually quite approachable and snackable; and with increased age comes increased piquancy, spice, and granularity. Ponce de Leon Manchego has a sweet, candied undertone that contributes to its popularity. Manchego is classically paired with quince paste but can also be shaved over salads or vegetables.
