Manchego Cheese Aged for 12 Months, 300 g

The Manchego Viejo by Quesos Corcuera represents the pinnacle of aged Manchego cheese—a masterpiece of patience, tradition, and craftsmanship.

Produced in La Puebla de Montalbán, Toledo region, Corcuera is a family-run dairy with more than seventy years of history, considered one of the key references for D.O.P. Manchego worldwide.

Their cheeses are celebrated in national and international competitions, including the World Cheese Awards and the International Lyon, where they have received multiple gold and silver medals.

Aged for a minimum of twelve months, Manchego Viejo offers a concentrated and intense flavor experience. The maturation process transforms the texture into something firm and slightly granular, often dotted with tiny crystals that signal perfect aging. Its aroma is robust and complex, while the flavor is deeply nutty, sharp, and pleasantly piquant, with long, lingering notes of mature sheep’s milk.

The rind is firm and golden, protecting the dense, ivory-colored interior that reflects the purity of the milk and the time invested in each wheel.

This cheese is best enjoyed thinly sliced at room temperature, allowing its full aroma to unfold. It pairs beautifully with full-bodied red wines, sherry, or even a drizzle of honey for contrast.

Manchego Viejo by Corcuera is a cheese for true connoisseurs—rich, intense, and deeply authentic, a perfect expression of the Manchego tradition at its most refined.
