About Queso manchego
Queso Manchego is a traditional Spanish cheese made from the milk of Manchega sheep native to the La Mancha region. Known for its rich, buttery flavor and firm, slightly crumbly texture, it ranges from mild to sharp depending on aging, which typically lasts between 60 days to 2 years. High in protein and calcium, it promotes bone health, but its moderate-to-high fat content makes portion control essential for those watching calorie intake. Manchego is lactose-free, making it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance. It contains essential vitamins such as B12 and A, alongside minerals including phosphorus and zinc. Due to its concentration of saturated fats and salt from the curing process, excessive consumption may not be ideal for heart or sodium-conscious diets. Queso Manchego is versatile in cuisine, pairing well with fruits, nuts, and wine, and serves as an iconic symbol of Spain’s culinary heritage.
