Manchego is an iconic Spanish sheep’s cheese from the La Mancha region, which consists of a vast, high plateau at around 600m above sea level. The climate is continental, with cold winters and hot summers. Manchego is recognizable by the distinctive zigzag pattern on its rind, which can vary from light to very dark brown in colour. The paste is compact and has small pockets of air throughout. In colour, it can vary from white to yellow depending on maturation, and the texture varies from moist and supple to drier and more crumbly.

At Provisions we have a “viejo” Manchego aged for 14 months. It has a rich aroma and on the palate there are notes of hay, fruit and nuts. It is at the same time sweet and salty with good acidity, paired with a waxy texture. Manchego can be eaten on its own, but is also great melted in a creamy sauce or gratin.
