One of the most well-known and exported cheeses in Spain. Manchego is a semi-hard cheese made with milk from sheep of the «Manchega» breed, which originates in the Castille-La Manche region. When young, its paste is pliable; as it ripens, it becomes more compact, firm and crumbly. The longer it ripens, the more piquant its flavour and the weaker the acidic notes at the beginning of the ripening process. The pattern on the rind is reminiscent of awl grass, which was once used to scoop the curds. In Spain, the cheese is typically enjoyed with quince jelly, which softens its intensity and sharpness to some degree.
