The distinct sweet milky flavour and delicate herb infused aroma of El Esparto Cave Ripened Manchego is very different to industrial plastic-coated Manchego. Produced in La Mancha from the highest quality ewe’s milk. Certified by the Manchego council its rind is coated with natural charcoal before it is ripened in a series of stone lined underground caves. After 6 months of aging the moist ivory-coloured interior has developed a delicious buttery finish with a lingering hint of caramel and almonds.
