Nuestra Señora de Fuentes Manchego Cheese – 6 Months Cured (Approx. 250 g)
IN STOCK
Nuestra Señora de Fuentes Manchego Cheese, cured for six months, is a semi-aged cheese that offers the perfect balance between youthful freshness and mature complexity. Made from 100% Manchega sheep’s milk, this semi-curado Manchego reveals a smooth, buttery mouthfeel with a more developed flavor than young Manchego, yet milder than the robust 12-month variety.
During its six months of maturation, the cheese acquires a nutty, slightly tangy flavor accented with delicate sweet notes. The texture is firm but supple, making it easy to slice and versatile in both everyday and gourmet dishes. Its natural rind reflects the artisanal curing process, while the interior maintains a pale golden hue.
