Week #24 - Manchego


This 8 month old Spanish sheep cheese (say that ten times fast) is not for the faint of heart. Robust and crumbly, it's one of those salty cheeses, but in a good way. It's a bit nutty, slightly gritty, with a tart finish. Very complex. There's a lot going on, which is why it aint, for the faint...of heart. It's a good stand alone cheese, you don't need a cracker or a piece of bread, which is not meant to disparage.



Brucie Cheese gives it a ... 9.4
Sunny Cheese gives it a .... 8.9
Mini Mundy gives it a .... 9.2
