Details

La Mancha

La Mancha is a hard sheep's milk cheese, noticeably nuttier and richer than its Spanish cousin, Manchego. The nomadic shepherding families of La Mancha have been hand-crafting this cheese for centuries. La Mancha has a sharp, moderately gamey, sheep's milk flavoured bite and texture that melts in the mouth.

How should I use this cheese?

Pair this cheese with Pinot Noir or other light reds. A very advanced cheese that should be enjoyed on its own with a dollop of Pear Chutney.
