Manchego Cheese

Manchego Cheese is a traditional Spanish sheep's‑milk cheese from the La Mancha region, known for its firm texture, nutty‑buttery flavor and use in tapas, sandwiches and grated over dishes. Nutritionally it is protein‑rich, providing about 26g of protein per 100g, and is also a concentrated source of calcium and vitamin B12. Because it is an aged, full‑fat cheese it is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so it is best enjoyed in moderation; its strong flavor means a small amount often suffices, and it contributes a high-quality amino acid profile useful for muscle maintenance and bone health.
