About Manchego cheese

Manchego cheese is a traditional Spanish cheese made from the milk of Manchega sheep, native to the La Mancha region. Renowned for its firm texture and rich, nutty flavor, it typically comes in aged varieties ranging from mild to sharp, depending on maturation time. Manchego is a good source of protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting bone health and muscle function. It’s relatively high in fat and sodium, so moderation is recommended for those watching their intake. Naturally gluten-free, it fits well in Mediterranean cuisine and is often paired with fruits, nuts, or olives. Its distinct taste makes it a versatile ingredient in tapas, salads, and pastas while also serving as a delightful standalone snack. With its rich heritage and balanced nutritional value, Manchego cheese is a flavorful addition to a mindful diet.
