Queso Manchego is a traditional Spanish cheese made from the milk of Manchega sheep, primarily in the La Mancha region. It has a firm texture and a rich, nutty flavor that varies with aging. The cheese is typically aged for between 60 days to two years, with longer aging resulting in a sharper taste. The cheese is easily recognizable by its distinctive rind, which is often marked with a zigzag pattern. Queso Manchego is commonly enjoyed on its own, paired with fruits, or used in various dishes, making it a versatile ingredient in Spanish cuisine.
