Semi-Curado Manchego Artesano DOP

Producer: Pasamontes Origin: Castilla la Mancha, Spain

If you are used to flavorless, pasteurized Manchego, often found throughout the United States, you are in for a treat! Pasamontes Manchego is on another level of complexity with a long-lingering finish and noticeable depth that set this producer and their methods apart from the rest. Semi-Curado refers to the age of the manchego, Semi-Curado is the youngest of the three aged manchegos at 3 to 4 months. In Spain, “ARTESANO” specifically refers to raw milk, not artisanal production.
