MANCHEGO 9 MO

The rind of this Manchego is recognizable by its distinctive basket weave pattern on the sides, a result of the traditional esparto grass used for the moulds.  Firm and dry, the ivory coloured interior is characterized by irregularly spaced small eyelets.  It boasts of delicate herbal notes and overtones of nuts with a pronounced peppery body.  The Manchego PDO sold by President is a 6-9 month aged "Viejo", meaning it has a more complex, rich and lingering flavour.  Enjoy with full-flavoured fruits, fruit pastes, vegetables and cured meats, on bread or crackers. Pair with pale ales, wheat beer, cabernet sauvignon and Tempranillo.
