Manchego Sheep Milk Cheese by Artequeso is a traditional Spanish cheese made with Manchega sheep's milk. Its DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status indicates that this cut was made per traditional production methods with the finest raw materials. Artequeso Manchego cheese is made with the milk of Manchego sheep at La Finca La Prudenciana. Having aged over sixty days in the Spanish municipality of Tembleque, this cut has a mild, subtly sweet, and fruity flavor with a semi-hard texture.
Enjoying Manchego cheese is an authentic cultural experience since its history dates back to the Iberian Civilization of the Bronze Age. The sheep milk curd was traditionally pressed into hand-knit baskets and aged between 60 days to 2 years in designated caves by cheesemakers. The result is caramel-like, nutty, and somewhat crumbly Manchego with its distinctive zig-zag pattern on the rind. Manchego was born in the Spanish region of La Mancha, home to Don Quijote.
