Buy manchego online

Manchego is a semi-hard cheese from Spain with a nutty, buttery flavor. It’s often used for snacking, in cheese boards, grated over salads, or melted in sandwiches and baked dishes.

If properly wrapped and refrigerated, opened manchego can last up to 3-4 weeks.

Spoiled manchego may have visible mold (other than the original rind), a sour smell, or a slimy texture. If this occurs, discard it.

It’s best to remove the rind before eating or cooking, as it’s inedible and has a tough texture.

Manchego pairs well with Rioja or Tempranillo red wines, as well as crisp, dry whites like Verdejo.

Cut manchego into thin wedges or triangles for a traditional Spanish presentation on a cheese board.

Serve manchego at room temperature in thin slices with olives, cured meats, nuts, and crusty bread.

Wrap manchego cheese tightly in wax paper or parchment, then cover with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.

You can freeze manchego, but it may affect texture. For best results, grate or slice before freezing and use it in cooked dishes after thawing.

Yes, manchego melts well and is delicious on toasts, gratins, and in quesadillas.

Classic dishes include Spanish tapas, omelets, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese boards, salads, and even baked pastas.

If needed, aged cheddar, Asiago, or Pecorino Romano can be used as substitutes with similar flavors and textures.

Aged manchego cheese is very low in lactose, so many lactose-intolerant individuals can enjoy it in small amounts, but always check with your doctor.
