The semi-cured Manchego Cheese Marantona is a jewel of the La Mancha region, produced in La Solana, Ciudad Real. This high-quality product has the Designation of Origin Manchego and is one of the most awarded from Castilla la Mancha. It is made exclusively from Manchego sheep milk, following traditional methods that guarantee its authenticity. Its maturation varies between 2 and 4 months, resulting in a semi-cured cheese with a firm and slightly flaky texture, offering an intense yet mild flavor, with a persistent aftertaste. Its rind is hard, with tones ranging from pale yellow to dark green-black, while the inner paste presents colors from white to yellowish ivory. This cheese pairs perfectly with extra virgin olive oil and can be accompanied by honey or jams. For optimal preservation, it is recommended to keep it between 8 and 10 ºC. To halt its evolution and control mold on the rind, a temperature of 4 ºC is ideal. This cheese retains its characteristics for at least 8 months, although its shelf life extends up to 12 months. Made by Quesos La Casota, it embodies the tradition and craftsmanship of the Manchega region. Every Manchego cheese is identified with a numbered and serialized casein plate, confirming its origin. The farming of Manchego sheep is conducted throughout the year, complemented with specific feeding in critical periods, ensuring the quality of the milk used in the production of this exquisite product.
