Sourcing

Manchego has been made for thousands of years in the La Mancha region of Spain, with archaeological records of the cheese predating the time of Christ. Ancient cheesemakers would have used woven grass baskets to strain the curds, leaving a beautiful crosshatched pattern on the rind. While today’s Manchego is made using modern methods, cheesemakers still press this pattern into the rind to pay homage to the cheese’s origins. Manchego is such a cornerstone of Spanish culture that it was mentioned by name in the novel Don Quixote . Manchego 1605 is name
