Manchego is Spain's most famous cheese. Produced in La Mancha in Central Spain, true Manchego is made from 100% sheep's milk. Cheeses from Spain are commonly made from sheep's milk because most of the territory is rocky and dry-- unfriendly to cows but suitable for raising goats and sheep. The abundance of wild herbs on Central Spain's grazing lands gives Manchego a special taste and aroma. Its flavor is zesty and exuberant, while its texture is firm, but not dry. Manchego can be recognized by the zigzag pattern etched into its rind. This is created by the rippled surface of the press used in the production of the cheese. Underneath the inedible rind, the interior is ivory-colored with few small holes. Taste Manchego for the first time and you will be surprised at how long the wonderful flavor lingers on your palate. It is an experience you will be drawn back to again and again. Made from pasteurized sheep's milk. Photo depicts whole 7 lb. form of cheese. We cut and wrap this item by hand.

This wonderful cheese comes to us from the volcanic island of the same name in Portugal's Azores archipelago. Littered with giant craters, the island is also home to vast, lush, natural green pastures. When colonized by the Flemish in the 15th Century, cheese production was introduced to the island, with cows brought over from the mainland. Still made in the traditional farmhouse way, this cheddar-y cheese is made from unpasteurized cow's milk and aged for over 120 days.

This pure sheep's milk cheese made in four pound wheels comes to us from Calabria, in southern Italy. Calabrese has that famous pecorino flavor and is both sweet and salty. Like most ewe's milk varieties, its surface is a bit oily due to the natural oils in the milk. Formed in woven molds, the rind takes on a ribbed pattern that makes a nice presentation. Excellent as a snacking cheese. Made from pasteurized sheep's milk. Photo depicts whole 3 lb. form of cheese.

This famous Spanish cheese is a must try! It is a semi soft goat cheese soaked in the traditional style wine of the region, Doble Pasta, which is made from the Monastrell grape. The cheese is aged for no more than 60-75 days, so that you can still enjoy some of the wine’s flavors and the rind takes on an attractive violet hue. Drunken Goat is mild and smooth, not goaty, with a touch of fruitiness in the finish.

Cossu Pecorino Romano Genuino Gold DOP/Cut & Wrapped by igourmet/Cheese
Produced in Sogliano al Rubicone, Pecorino di Fossa began accidentally when farmers hid their treasures in caves during the Saracen pirate raids of the 12th century. As per tradition, the cheese is wrapped in cloth and buried in earth inside caves in mid August and dug up November 25 during the holiday of Santa Caterina. The cheese becomes deformed from its long stay underground yet it acquires exceptional fragrance and flavor.
Pecorino di Fossa di Sogliano Cheese D.O.P./Cut & Wrapped by igourmet/Cheese
Manchego is a DOP cheese that can be made only from the milk of Manchega-breed sheep. In order to comply with DOP law, the sheep must graze in the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo. These are the provinces of the famous La Mancha region. The best Manchego cheese is produced when the milk is the richest. For Manchego, this occurs between the months of August and December.
