8 Month Manchego - El Trigal *Third of a Pound*

8 Month Manchego - El Trigal, Third of a Pound

Delight in the unique flavors of 8 Month Manchego. A raw milk Manchego from El Trigal, aged eight months and made only with milk from Manchega breed sheep in Toledo, Spain.

Why you'll love it

• Eight months — aged eight months, which puts it past the mild stage and into something with grip.
• Raw sheep's milk — made with unpasteurized milk, so it carries more of the breed's flavor than a pasteurized version.
• Manchega breed only — made solely from the milk of Manchega sheep rather than a blend of breeds.
• Toledo, Spain — produced in the Toledo area, in the heart of La Mancha where Manchego comes from.
• Buttery with stone fruit — the flavor is buttery, with subtle hints of stone fruit that come forward as it warms.

How to enjoy Cut thin and eat it with quince paste or figs, or shave it over roasted vegetables. A dry oloroso or an amontillado sherry is the classic pairing, and a Tempranillo works too.

Raw milk Manchego with real time on it, for people who find the young version too polite.
