La Mancha is a Sheep's milk cheese with a balanced flavor highlighting a light and pleasant acidity and sweet tones at the same time. The very characteristic smell of cured sheep milk - mild and milky with hints of nuts. The texture is firm, with low elasticity, with light crumbliness, very similar to the famous Manchego.

If you like Manchego, Idiazabal is your next must-try. This cheese is lightly smoked, originally not by design. In days gone by, Basque shepherds would make and age wheels of cheese in their shepherd's huts. Fires inside for cooking and warming created smoky rooms, which would flavor the wheels, stored in the rafters.

Mahon is a wonderful semi-hard cheese, shaped like a pillow, coming from the Island of Menorca in Spain. This version is young, aged for about 3 months, with a smooth and supple texture and a buttery and salty flavor and a sweet and fruit aroma. Spaniards call this a table cheese, which means that you can eat it with almost anything; it's that versatile.
