This ewes Cheese is the most important and well-known cheese outside Spain. It is exclusively manufactured in the Castilla-La-Mancha region. The shape of this cheese is very characteristic and defined due to the traditional use of esparto grass moulds, which imprint a zigzag pattern on the cylinder sides. The small wooden boards used for pressing the cheese also imprint the typical wheat ear pattern on the top and bottom of it. Its Flavour is full, persistent and has the aroma of ewes milk, with a slightly piquant and salty taste. The minimum aging period for this cheese is about 2 months. Among the Manchegoes this is the milder one.
