In Spain is clearly omnipresent: you can find it in bars, supermarkets, houses... Everybody loves Manchego everywhere. Try this one-year-old and you'll find out why. \u003cbr\u003eThe secret is in the milk. Manchega sheep live in the special climatic conditions of La Mancha, a vast plateau in the middle of Spain, with a high altitude above sea level. Their winters are cold and summers hot. The best cheese is produced when the milk is the richest, between August and December. \u003cbr\u003eLa Mancha is divided in several provinces: Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo. \u003cbr\u003eObserve that \u003cstrong\u003ethe marks on the rind honor a time when the cheese was wrapped in sheets of woven esparto grass\u003c\/strong\u003e.
