Manchego (Spanish: queso manchego, pronounced[ˈkesomanˈtʃeɣo]) is a cheese made in the La Mancha region of Spain from the milk of sheep of the Manchega breed. It is aged between 60 days and 2 years.
Manchego has a firm and compact consistency and a buttery texture, often containing small, unevenly distributed air pockets. The colour of the cheese varies from white to ivory-yellow, and the inedible rind from yellow to brownish-beige. The cheese has a distinctive flavour, well developed but not too strong, creamy with a slight piquancy, and leaves an aftertaste that is characteristic of sheep's milk.
The designation queso manchego is protected under Spain's denominación de origen regulatory classification system,[2] and the cheese has been granted Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status by the European Union.[3]
