Certainly we had been looking for a partner for some time to represent the most international cheese we have in Spain: Manchego cheese. And we have really found it, as always, meeting our most demanding parameters of quality, packaging, storytelling and the people behind the brand.

A commitment to the tradition of La Mancha and a tribute to Don Quixote

Spain is a country of cheeses, and what cheeses! Of all the possible types, I would hardly know how to keep just one. But one of those who stand out for their own personality, is extolled throughout the world, and which is unique to our country, is the Manchego cheese. And in Made in Spain Gourmet, we could only have one excellent choice for that category: The cheese factory 1605. A commitment to the tradition of La Mancha and that takes its name from the year of publication of the first edition of Don Quixote, and with it, wants to pay tribute to the most universal Spanish book. With a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), is located in the Sierra La Solana Estate, Ciudad Real, a natural setting, surrounded by vineyards, almond trees and scrub, typical La Mancha vegetation, which gives great flavor to the milk.

It constitutes the wager the brand for promoting and proudly maintaining the tradition of Manchego cheese, considered one of the best in the world for its very special qualities and its completely handmade production process. The entire process of making the cheese 1605 they carry it out completely handmade by its expert cheese masters. The filling of the curd in the molds is done manually, one by one!, with a gentle pressing at first and then more and more intense. The result? A select cheese that stands out for its elegance on the palate, its fruity character and its intense and persistent flavor.

We who have tried its entire range, can hardly stay with just one. Because its different treatments mean that you can enjoy them all, on different occasions, but with the same result: absolute satisfaction.
