It is a cheese made from raw milk from Manchega’s sheep from the farm itself, cured for a minimum of 3 months. Natural crust cellar, dark and sometimes dotted with patches of natural mold. When cut it has ivory color and a very pronounced fence. The paste is firm and compact with some eyes.
The palate has a semi-hard texture, good buttery and solubility and medium friability. The taste, at first, has a mild acidic intermixed with sweet grain. Animal aromas very well integrated with a pleasant aftertaste of raw nuts (almonds) with high persistence in the mouth.
