Aged Marantona Manchego cheese, produced by Quesos La Casota in La Solana, Ciudad Real, is an exceptional example of cheese with Protected Designation of Origin Manchego. This cheese is made from Manchega sheep's milk and undergoes a maturation process of 18 to 24 months, giving it a unique character. Its rind is hard, and its paste is firm, with a slightly flaky texture and a color that ranges from white to ivory yellow. It has a tangy flavor and an aftertaste that mixes spicy, sweet, and bitter notes, reflecting the richness of raw milk. It is best enjoyed at room temperature to appreciate its buttery texture. Recommended to pair with extra virgin olive oil or jams. Proper storage is crucial, as it should be kept at 8 to 10 ºC to prolong freshness for at least 8 months, although its shelf life is 12 months.
