Oveja Truffle Manchego – 200g

About

An artisan unpasteurised sheep’s milk ‘Manchego’ cheese .  Produced in La Mancha in exactly the same way as a Manchego, but technically not allowed to be called a Manchego as shavings of summer truffles are added. This cheese is cured for extra maturity, and the truffles take it to a new dimension altogether.  the cheese is Ivory coloured with a medium dense texture and small crystals giving a long finish of hazelnuts and extra-virgin olive oil, coupled with the earthiness of the truffle shavings running through the cheese.

Made with 100% raw sheep’s milk, obtained daily by producers from Ciudad Real (Castilla La Mancha) by mechanical milking. The milk is then kept in refrigeration tanks until it is collected, for further processing.  It is cured for 4 to 6 months, giving it an ivory yellow colour strewn with black veins typical of the best black truffle from Teruel. It has a clean and fruity smell characteristic of the most evolved sheep’s milk together with the aromas provided by the truffle. In the mouth it has a firm texture and also a certain buttery one, altogether it is an exquisite product for truffle and cheese lovers.
