Approx. 2,9 kg whole cheese of Don Apolonio Manchego style Añejo-Reserva sheep's milk cheese, from Malagón, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha. In vacuum-sealed packaging.
Cheese made with pasteurised sheep's milk, matured for a minimum of 10 months (but usually of 12 or more months), cylindrical in shape and with an intense yellow appearance, characteristic of the sheep's milk that grazes in the fields of Castilla-La Mancha.
Intense flavour with a deep bouquet, aromatic with tones typical of its high maturity. It has partridge-like eyes, with a pale aged appearance and a firm, compact consistency. Full in the mouth.
Its traditional production and unique, intense and aromatic flavour has taken it to the top, making it the 'Best Cheese 2023' in Spain and the best cheese in Spain in the category of Matured Sheep Cheese.
About Quesos Don Apolonio:
The Mata family's livestock and cheese-making tradition dates back to the end of the 19th century. Marino Mata was a shepherd from Castilla-La Mancha, Ciudad Real, where, together with his wife Juliana Colmenar, he established himself as a livestock farmer. 150 sheep and 30 goats made up the herd that supplied the raw material for his first cheeses. His son Apolonio Mata continued the family tradition giving name and prestige to ‘Quesos Don Apolonio’.
Don Apolonio Mata took over from his father, taking advantage of his experience. From 1941 he increased the number of livestock. Following the success of their exquisite cheeses, the family increased production and the sons of Don Apolonio Mata, the new generation, took over production in 1985. The different types of cheese produced at Quesos Don Apolonio use milk from Manchego herds fed in the area of Castilla-La Mancha, rich in excellent quality pastureland, as the main ingredient.
