This Villajos Reserva Manchego cheese is the best authentic Manchego you can buy, anywhere at any price. Placed in a wooden box by the cheese makers in the village, it makes an exquisite tasteful gift. There are many cheeses called Manchego, but this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. It is the Gold Standard. Despite its relatively recent arrival in the cheese marketplace, the beautifully crafted Villajos "curado" earned First Prize for Manchego in 2002, a Silver Medal in 2003 and a Silver Medal in 2006 at the Gran Selección de Castilla La Mancha contest. The Gran Selección is an annual food contest held by the regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha. Products such as wine, Manchego cheese, saffron, extra virgin olive oil, etc. run for a prize in their own categories for 'best of the year'. It is not an easy achievement to win so many of these prestigious awards during such a short term. Villajos Reserva is an authentic hand-made, raw sheep's milk cheese. This 9-month aged Manchego has a richer flavor than cheese aged by industrial producers for many more months.. It has a full flavor with a healthy sharpness. The cheese is made with raw milk from the Manchega breed of sheep, which are tended by shepherds in the hills surrounding the village. The family collects the fresh milk from the ewes in milking pails and immediately refrigerate it in order preserve its natural aroma and taste. This extra effort will be amply rewarded. It yields an insuperable taste, full of subtle tones -- far superior to that of the industrial cheeses that are made with pasteurized milk. The entire production process is supervised by the Council of the Denomination of Origin of Manchego Cheese. Slice and serve with olives and sliced Serrano ham for the authentic flavor of Spain.
