All Manchego cheese is identified on one of its flat faces with a numbered and serial casein plate. It is located on the Finca Sierra la Solana, in the heart of La Mancha, in the town of Herencia, in a privileged natural setting with a harsh and extreme climate, which favors the growth of very rustic vegetation that serves as food for its Manchego breed soybeans.

Tasting Notes:

1605 Selección Especial is a high-expression Manchego cheese, whose main characteristics are its breadth of aromas and flavors, together with its unmistakable texture. It offers a complex mouthfeel, with a large number of nuances. Clean, elegant smell with notes of evolved milk and caramel. Memories of leather and wool, derived from raw milk. Despite its long maturation, it maintains a pleasant sensation of butteriness and a floury graininess. Very intense flavor, soft at first, but with a long persistence on the palate, like all our cheeses. Clean animal aromas and a very pleasant spicy aftertaste that appears at the end, accompanied by notes of nuts (lightly toasted hazelnuts) and notes of caramel. It is an elegant cheese, with everything that is expected of a Manchego cheese that is over 10 months old, but with an onset in the mouth and a series of nuances that subtract violence and rancidity from what we are used to in this type of cheese. We find one of the best cheeses in Spain.

Pairing:

We would pair it with young aged red wines, and also on the other hand, it can be paired with extra virgin olive oils, honeys o jams.

Conservation

The ideal temperature for cheese conservation would be 8 – 10 ºC. If we want to stop the evolution of the cheese and the molds in the natural rind, the temperature should be 4ºC. The preferred consumption will be for a minimum of 8 months, although it must be taken into account that, from the 4th month, if the cheese is wrapped in paper, it will begin to stain due to the activity of the molds in the natural rind.

Very intense flavor, soft at first and a very pleasant spicy aftertaste at the end. It is a very elegant cheese, and it can represent the Spanish Manchego. With a drizzle of picual extra virgin olive oil, even more sublime.
