Murray's
pronounced "mon-chay-go"
| Murray's Young Manchego is a PDO-certified semi-hard cheese from Spain's La Mancha, made exclusively with pasteurized milk from Manchega sheep and animal rennet. Aged about 3 months (semicurado), it has a semi-firm, pliable texture and a mild, buttery, nutty flavor distinct from aged versions. The cheese meets PDO standards including max 45% moisture and min 50% fat in dry matter. Its ivory-white paste features a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Ideal pairings include Spanish white wines (Verdejo, Albariño), young reds, membrillo, Marcona almonds, and honey. It is pronounced man-CHAY-go. | |
