Savor the rich, nutty flavor of authentic Manchego cheese, a firm, pressed sheep's milk cheese originating from the La Mancha region of Spain. Properly stored, this delightful cheese can elevate any charcuterie board or culinary creation.

Storage Time

Store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks for best quality. Once opened, consume within 1-2 weeks.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 2-7°C (35-45°F) to maintain optimal freshness and flavor.

Freezing

While freezing Manchego cheese is possible, it can significantly alter its texture, making it crumbly and less smooth upon thawing. For best results, wrap the cheese tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or a freezer-safe bag. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight. Frozen Manchego is best suited for cooking applications like gratins or sauces rather than serving as is.

Signs of Spoilage

Visible mold growth (other than the natural rind, if applicable)
Unpleasant, sour, or ammonia-like odor
Slimy or sticky texture on the surface
