This is possible because their cheese is made fresh at their own El Campillo estate, home to their 3,500 sheep. They earned Welfair™ Animal Welfare certification by ensuring that humane treatment of their sheep is an essential part of how they care for their animals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Tienda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46032268787795,"sku":"cs-20","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9260\/1171\/files\/cs-20.jpg?v=1787737742"},{"product_id":"hand-cut-reserva-manchego-cheese-tray-villajos-cs-04","title":"Hand-Cut Reserva Manchego Cheese Tray by Villajos - 7 Ounces","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handmade cheese, made by the Villajos family, is Manchego at its best.

It starts with the milk. The family uses only fresh, local sheep’s milk, crafted in small batches to produce a truly artisanal cheese, noticeably richer and more complex than supermarket Manchego.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Manchega breed sheep graze on nearby pastures filled with wildflowers, grasses and herbs, which lend depth and flavor to the milk. Each morning, the milk is delivered fresh to the Villajos creamery, where it is transformed under the careful guidance of master cheesemaker Beni.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking with raw milk, the cheese is churned, pressed and then patiently aged for six months and turned regularly to ensure even maturation. This extended aging creates a firmer texture and a sharper savory profile, somewhat similar to a fine Parmigiano Reggiano.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVillajos’ cheeses have earned widespread recognition. This sharp Manchego won a Gold Medal at the Cheese from Spain Awards, a Gran Selección Silver Medal from Castilla-La Mancha and a Silver Medal at the World Cheese Awards.
