La Cueva del Abuelo's premium Manchego selection showcases D.O.P. protected sheep's milk cheeses from the La Mancha region.
This special Único 18 meses variety is one of the producer's most mature Manchegos: thanks to its 18-month aging process, the cheese reaches the peak of its aromas and texture.
During aging, the cheese's moisture content significantly decreases, resulting in a harder, crumbly texture, while its flavors gain extraordinary intensity. Its aroma features notes of roasted nuts, caramel, and sheep's milk, while its flavor profile unfolds with rich hazelnut notes, a slight piquancy, and a long finish. The pleasant crunch of tiny aging crystals is one of the hallmarks of truly long aging.
This Manchego is a true delicacy for lovers of characterful sheep's cheeses. It is best enjoyed on its own at room temperature, but it also pairs excellently with full-bodied red wines, aged sherry, or even a glass of vermouth. A few roasted almonds, walnuts, figs, or a touch of honey perfectly highlight its rich aromas.
We offer the cheese in approx. 150–250 gram vacuum-packed pieces. The desired size can be selected at the top of the page.
