Aged Manchego cheese Adiano (whole) / Gold Medal World Cheese Awards 22/23

The aged Adiano whole Manchego cheese is a cheese with a designation of origin that is handmade from raw milk of purebred Manchego sheep fed on the pastures of the El Campillo estate (Ciudad Real) at the foot of the Toledo mountains. It won the gold medal at the 2022-2023 World Cheese Awards held in Wales. It is an aged unpasteurized sheep's milk cheese, without additives or preservatives, that matures in its own mold, making its completely natural rind 100% edible. This artisan Manchego cheese has exceptional quality and its organoleptic qualities, where natural ferments are preserved, give it nuances of flavor and aroma that stand out in its category. All the sheep on the farm enjoy a state of semi-freedom where they alternate daily time in the field grazing, playing, sunbathing, or resting. The barns where they rest have been designed with the latest available technology focused on animal welfare (Animal Welfare™), and where they are milked or spend the night to shelter from the weather. Additionally, the cheese factory has a waste treatment plant that minimizes the impact and ecological footprint, thus contributing to becoming a 100% sustainable brand. We recommend pairing this cheese with red wines from La Mancha as their robust notes perfectly complement the intensity of this aged artisan Manchego cheese. If a lighter experience is preferred, white wines or craft beer enhance the flavor of the artisan Manchego cheese and as for culinary recommendations, this cheese can be incorporated into risottos and tarts that result in a gastronomic masterpiece.
