Oveja Semicurado Manchego is a semi-hard, sheep's milk cheese from Spain. True Manchego is produced only from the milk of the Manchega sheep. The Manchega sheep graze on dry pasture and brush fields on a high plateau outside of the cities southeast of Madrid. When it comes time to mature, like many other Spanish cheeses, Manchego is smeared with olive oil. It is aged 3 months and has a very strong, nutty flavor that is unforgettable and accompanied by a zesty and slightly salty taste. Its texture is crumbly. Its rich flavor makes it a great snack on its own, or it can be served with bread, crackers, or dessert. Cut cheese, up to 3.3 lb.
