4-Month Selection Sheep’s Milk Manchego Cheese, Quesería 1605

Technical details:

Ingredients: Raw Manchega sheep’s milk
Fat Content: 37%
Ageing: 4 months
Producer: Selección 1605

Origin: Finca Sierra La Solana, Ciudad Real (Spain)

PDO: Manchego

Every Manchego cheese is identified on one of its flat sides with a numbered and serialized casein label. It is located at Finca Sierra la Solana, in the heart of La Mancha (Ciudad Real), in the town of Herencia, in a privileged natural setting with a harsh, extreme climate that encourages the growth of very rustic vegetation, which feeds its Manchega-breed sheep. All these factors contribute to the production of a cheese with unique characteristics.

Tasting Note:

Clean animal aroma. Dairy notes reminiscent of mild yogurt and a fruity character with subtle hints of nuts. On the palate it has a semi-hard texture, good creaminess and solubility, and medium friability. A pleasant fatty-oily sensation during chewing and a floury type of graininess. The flavor initially shows gentle acidity interwoven with sweet cereal notes. Animal aromas are very well integrated overall, with a pleasant aftertaste of raw nuts (almond) and high persistence on the palate. A fantastic Manchego cheese.

Pairing:

We would pair it with young crianza red wines, and it can also be enjoyed with extra virgin olive oils, honeys or jams.

Storage

The ideal temperature for storing the cheese is 8 – 10 ºC. If we want to halt the evolution of the cheese and the molds on the natural rind, the temperature should be 4ºC. Best before: at least 8 months, although it should be borne in mind that from the 4th month onward, if the cheese is wrapped in paper, the paper will begin to stain due to the activity of the molds on the natural rind.

Quesería 1605

A commitment to Manchego tradition and a tribute to Don Quixote Spain is a country of cheeses, of every possible kind, but one that stands out with a personality all its own, and that is unique to our country, is Manchego cheese. And at Made in Spain Gourmet, we could only offer an excellent choice in this category: Quesería 1605. It is a commitment to Manchego tradition and takes its name from the year the first edition of Don Quixote was published, thereby paying tribute to the most universal Spanish book. With a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), it is located on Finca Sierra La Solana, in Ciudad Real, a natural setting surrounded by vineyards, almond trees and scrubland, typical Manchego vegetation that gives the milk its exceptional flavor. It represents the brand’s commitment to proudly promoting and preserving the tradition of Manchego cheese, considered one of the best in the world for its very special qualities and its entirely artisanal production process. The entire production process for 1605 cheese is carried out completely by hand by its expert master cheesemakers. The curd is placed into the molds manually, one by one, with gentle pressing at first and then increasingly intense pressure. The result? A select cheese that stands out for its elegance on the palate, its fruity character and its intense, lingering flavor. Quesería 1605 has the appropriate equipment to produce cheese with the necessary health guarantees, complying with the approval criteria set by the European Union. One example: To make 1 kg of cured cheese, between 5.5 and 6 liters of the finest milk are required. We are proud to represent these excellent Manchego cheeses, which began their international expansion some time ago. Because they knew that only by offering the very best would they succeed in international markets.
