TASTING NOTES

Appearance

The artisan semi-cured Manchego cheese from Las Terceras features a cream-ivory rind**. Various shades can be observed, so the color is not entirely uniform. Inside, it has a semi-hard paste with an ivory-white color and small, evenly distributed eyes.

Aroma

It has a strong milky aroma, reminiscent of sheep’s milk, with subtle yogurt notes. Since it is made with raw milk, natural nuances evoke fresh pasture or grass.

Flavor

On the palate, it is a smooth, balanced, creamy, and melting cheese. The raw milk adds greater depth and nuance. It has a gentle, lingering aftertaste, with a subtle touch of acidity that enhances its flavor.

Pairing suggestions

Its versatility makes it a perfect companion for all types of wines, with a special affinity for dry white wines. An original suggestion is to pair it with cava, allowing you to enjoy the contrast of textures.
