<i>El queso Manchego</i> or Manchego cheese is a gastronomic specialty of Spain. Contrary to most cheeses which are made with cow or goat milk, the Manchego is made with the milk of ewes from <i>la Mancha</i> region, in the center of Spain. There are two types of Manchego cheese: one made with crude milk, the other with pasteurized milk (one more artisanal, one more industrial). <i>Manchego</i> is a strictly controlled label. All cheeses are cured at least two months. Depending on the curing time after that, there is a large variety of <i>semicurado, curado or viejo</i> cheeses with a more or less sharp or salty taste. There are many brands of Manchego cheese. As long as you buy a cheese with the label <i>manchego</I>, you will get a good cheese. We would probably tend to recommend a cheese curado made with crude milk for a taste a little pronounced, without being too sharp.
