About Manchengo

Manchego is a flavorful, semi-firm cheese made from sheep's milk originating in the La Mancha region of Spain. Its distinctive nutty and tangy taste comes from being aged for 60 days to two years, with textures ranging from creamy to crumbly depending on its duration of maturation. Manchego is rich in protein and calcium, contributing to bone health, and contains healthy fats that can support energy levels. However, it’s also high in saturated fat and sodium, making moderation key to a balanced diet. Naturally gluten-free, Manchego pairs well with fruits, nuts, and whole-grain crackers, integrating easily into Mediterranean-inspired meals and cheese boards. Its unique, buttery flavor makes it an excellent choice for savoring in small portions while enjoying the health benefits of its nutrient-dense profile.
