6-Month Manchego Cheese

A taste of Spain’s rich culinary heritage, 6-Month Manchego Cheese is a semi-aged masterpiece from the heart of La Mancha. Made from the creamy, full-bodied milk of free-ranging Manchega sheep, this cheese is expertly aged for six months, striking the perfect balance between buttery smoothness and a nutty, mildly tangy flavor.

Its ivory-colored paste is firm yet supple, laced with tiny, crunchy crystals that speak to its carefully controlled aging process. The natural rind, marked with the iconic basket-weave pattern, is a tribute to its artisanal roots.

6-Month Manchego offers a well-rounded flavor profile that is milder than its older counterparts but still boasts a depth that delights the palate. It’s a versatile cheese that is just as comfortable on a rustic tapas spread as it is on a refined cheese board.

Perfect Pairings

  • Cured Meats: Serve alongside thin slices of Jamón Ibérico, chorizo, or Italian coppa for a classic tapas experience.

  • Fruits: Complement its buttery, nutty flavor with fresh figs, ripe pears, or a drizzle of honey.

  • Bread & Crackers: Enjoy with crusty baguette, seeded crackers, or rosemary focaccia for a textural contrast.

  • Nuts: Pair with Marcona almonds, toasted walnuts, or pecans for a satisfying crunch.

  • Olives: Balance the creaminess with briny Castelvetrano or Manzanilla olives.

  • Wine: Sip alongside a glass of fruity Tempranillo, a crisp Albariño, or a sparkling Cava for a refreshing contrast.

  • Gourmet Plates: Use as a star ingredient in a Spanish-inspired salad with arugula, toasted pine nuts, and a sherry vinaigrette.

From a simple slice with a drizzle of olive oil to a starring role in your next tapas night, 6-Month Manchego Cheese is a tribute to Spain’s culinary traditions — a cheese that offers a little bit of everything, with every bite.
