This PDO-certified Manchego Artesano from Finca Sierra de la Solana in La Mancha, Spain is crafted from 100% Manchega sheep's milk and aged with an unbrushed, waxless rind that allows natural flavor development. The traditional aging method with natural mold cultivation (brushed off before selling) creates distinctive almond and hay aromas while developing more nuanced flavor than mass-produced alternatives. Serve with briny olives for a classic Spanish aperitivo experience, pair with quince paste or fig jam for the traditional sweet-savory combination, or incorporate into tapas boards where its mellow pineapple and toasted brioche notes offer sophisticated flavor without the sharp "mouth burn" common to industrially produced Manchego varieties.

Essex Street CheeseEssex Street Cheese
Queens, NY
Essex Street Cheese was founded in New York City in 2006. When they began, they sold just one cheese, Comté from Fort St. Antoine, at the Essex Street Market on Delancey Street in the Lower East Side. Though business has expanded and they no longer operate out of that shop, today they remain very focused on the highest quality cheese and only import a handful of iconic cheeses. Essex Street works directly with cheesemakers and agers to select consistently flavorful wheels and ship them from the source to you with minimal time in warehouse to ensure you are getting the best quality cheese at it's peak time.
