Manchego Crudo Cheese, Aged for 8 Months, 300 g

Quesos Corcuera’s Manchego Crudo—made from raw Manchega sheep’s milk—is an artisanal treasure that captures the essence of traditional cheesemaking in La Mancha.

As one of Spain’s leading D.O.P cheese producers, Corcuera is known for setting the benchmark in quality and authenticity, with decades of expertise and a long list of international awards, including recognition at the World Cheese Awards and the Lyon International Competition.

This raw milk Manchego is typically aged for six to eight months, during which it develops a remarkable depth of character. The use of unpasteurised milk allows the natural microflora to enhance its aroma and complexity, resulting in a cheese that is more expressive and rustic than its pasteurised counterparts.

The texture is firm yet supple, with a beautifully natural ivory paste and a thin, waxy rind. On the palate, it offers an intense, earthy flavor with nutty undertones and a slightly spicy finish—an authentic reflection of the region’s landscape and climate.

Manchego Crudo is a cheese made for true enthusiasts. It shines on its own, served in thin slices, but also pairs wonderfully with robust red wines, fig jam, or crusty bread.

Every bite tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship—a tribute to the skill of Corcuera’s cheesemakers and the purity of Manchega sheep’s milk. This is Manchego in its most traditional and expressive form.
