The aged Manchego cheese Marantona from La Casota is recognized for its high quality and bears the Protected Designation of Origin Manchego. Made in La Solana, Ciudad Real, from 100% Manchega sheep’s milk, it ages for a period of 8 to 12 months. This cheese is characterized by its firm and compact paste, with a slightly flaky texture and an intense yet mild flavor, with a persistent aftertaste. The rind is hard and comes in colors ranging from pale yellow to greenish-black, while the interior shows tones from white to ivory. Its careful production process has earned it numerous awards and recognition as one of the best Manchego cheeses in the world. It is crucial to store it at a temperature of 8 to 10 ºC to maintain its ideal characteristics, lowering to 4 ºC to halt the development of the cheese and natural molds. Preferred consumption occurs within 8 to 12 months. It pairs well with extra virgin olive oil and complements honey or preserves.
