Originating in a specific place, region, or, exceptionally, a country,
Whose quality or characteristics are due, fundamentally or exclusively, to a particular geographical environment, with the natural and human factors inherent in it, and
Whose production phases take place entirely in the defined geographical area.
The Manchego sheep are raised on pasture throughout the year, taking advantage of the natural resources of the La Mancha area, although their diet is supported with concentrates and other by-products during times of greater nutritional demands (gestation, lactation, etc.). They are grouped in flocks ranging from 100 to 600 heads, depending on the size of the agricultural operation, although flocks of up to 2,000 animals can be found.
There are two varieties of Manchego sheep, according to their coat: one white, with depigmented mucous membranes - which is the most numerous - and another black, with light spots on the head and distal parts of their anatomy. However, the variety does not establish differences in the quality of the milk they produce.
