Product Description
Travel accross Spain with our delicious selection of Spain cheese. Cheese is part of the daily life in Spain, and every region has its own cheese tradition. Cow milk cheese, goat milk cheese or sheep milk cheese, the options are many and the aroma and taste endless. Spanish cheese is much more than Manchego cheese. We`ve also included in this category some some Dutch cheese, Swiss cheese and Italian cheese. Parmigiano, Gruyere, Gouda… Find out why we get along so well with our European cheese friends.
Manchego sheep’s milk cheese is the most popular in Spain without any doubt. It comes from La Mancha region, Don Quixote’s land, and it is made from indigenous sheep’s milk. This young and mild Manchego cheese is aged for 3 months creating a flavorful and creamy cheese perfect to combine with grapes, quince jelly or nuts. In fact it is quite common is Spain to serve it as a dessert. The classic way is cutting it in triangular wafers. Remember to keep it in refrigerator for longer conservation. Wrap it in plastic film or use a cloth soaked in olive oil to cover it, as the traditional way.
Manchego is a DO, name-controlled cheese, which can be made only from the milk of the Manchega sheep. They graze in the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo, all of which form the region of La Mancha. The best cheese is produced when the milk is the richest, between August and December. The pattern on the rind honors a time when the cheese was wrapped in sheets of woven esparto grass
Mahon cheese is also a name-controlled cheese, DO cow’s milk cheese from the island of Menorca, Balearic Islands. Pale yellow in color with numerous eyes and rounded edges, this four-month-aged cheese has a characteristic orange rind. Creamy with a nutty finish, Mahon cheese is versatile in the kitchen: you could use it as a splendid sandwich cheese or prepare something more sophisticated. It has been made since Roman times. The milk is thermalized, not pasteurized or raw’s milk. Someone once asked how the cows came to be on Menorca and we were told by the producer that they swam there! Funny how an island small in size is such a big cheese producer. Mahon is very popular in Spain and in UK. And guess what? Matches great with a cold beer. It becomes a hard cheese with aging.
If you want to pair it with wine Spanish fruity reds like Rioja or Ribera go perfectly well, aged Mahon develops a more sharp and tangy intensity and it can easily compete with most famous gruyere or gouda.
V Navarra is a Latxa sheep’s milk cheese, Idiazabal style, with the same intense smoked flavor. Both are always produced only with raw milk in the North of Spain: Basque Country and Navarra. The mountains there still have this lush vegetation, where sheep flocks can get first quality pastures. Traditionally shepherds take the flocks to higher pastures during summer time, where grass is fresh and abundant. It’s during these months where cheese is made, it is a summer cheese. Shepherds store the cheese in their mountain huts, where get the smoky flavor from fireplaces. In the end of September, first October, when snow is about to come, shepherds and flocks return to the lower valleys and sell the cheese. Since Idiazabal is more and more demanded, nowadays cheese makers recreate the traditional techniques. After letting the cheese mature for 1 month, they smoke it with hawthorne or cherry wood. This process gives Etxegarai and Idiazabal cheese their characteristic piquant and nutty flavor

Title: Excellent 12-month aged Manchego.
Review: Some believe aged sheep’s cheese to be the healthiest of cheeses. Count me among them. As a long-time cheese lover, I find it especially easy to digest. Perhaps why itâs almost the only cheese I eat now. I even use it for my home made pizzas. And Manchego is my favorite of those I have tried so far. But where to buy it? I live in the USA, not Spain. Well, Costco has a fine 6 month aged version. Trader Joe’s has a similar version, as well as a 12 month aged version. Samâs Club has a version with no age listed, which appears to be younger. And, of course, Whole Foods and other gourmet stores carry it, but at a price that may make it too pricey for daily use.The longer the aging, the greater the flavor and the more easily it is digested. So I am always on the lookout for a good 12 month aged version. I have ordered from this vendor twice. The first time I received a Navarro brand cheese, which was as good as any I have sampled. The second time I received a very different brand, darker yellow in color and not quite as good in my opinion, but still excellent. Since the price is very reasonable, I consider this a good option for 12-month aged Manchego.Update 4-2-20:Still buying this cheese. Still excellent. Hands down my favorite cheese overall.Update 4-11-21This is an excellent aged Manchego, but the method by which it is shipped is really adequate only for short distances or during the coolest part of the year. It is packed in an insulated wrap with a couple of ice packs in a cardboard box and sent by FedEx ground. Order on a Monday and not a Friday! I live in Arizona and itâs shipped from Florida: a long, potentially very hot drive away. Iâve had it arrive in the summer with much of itâs fat content in the form of a liquid extruded from and surrounding the cheese, resulting in a very dry, subpar product. It was still edible, but not what I really wanted. With climate change this is becoming an issue for me even in the Spring. It is a very fine cheese at a good price, however, so I just try to time my orders with temperature in mind.

Title: Proof that America has no idea how good Europeans have it when it comes to real cheese.
Review: This is the way to buy good cheese. Even the 12 month aged version comes to $19 / pound, which is less than small-portion imported cheeses from Whole Foods (in the U.S.)TASTE: rich and mild and slightly tangy.TEXTURE: moderately hard / crumbly, but thin slices do stay together.Round is about 8-9 inches by about 4 (see image with full-size French knife.

Title: Manchego aged cheese
Review: By the time the shipment arrived, ice was melted and all the oils had seeped out of the cheese hard cover. Cheese was very dry and crumbled. Expensive mistake. Don’t order in the dead of summer. It too hot to ship
