Story

This Manchego Viejo matured at a minimum of 12 months, but is often 18 months old. This extra aging produces a stronger flavour, harder paste, and a bolder bite than its younger counter part. Our Manchego is produced on the La Prudenciana farm by the Alvarez Valera Family, located in the heart of La Mancha region, in Tembleque, Toledo.

Producer

In the early 1950s, Alfonso Anastasio Valera, married Heródita del Carmen. Together they combined their land which became home to their present day family farm La Prudenciana, named in honor of Heródita's mother. The farm was historically used for various agricultural pursuits until Manchego cheese designated PDO in 1980 at which time the family changed gears and began producing Manchego cheese. Since then, the sheep dairy farm has been passed down through family members through to present day where they continue to make some of the best cheese in Spain. The farm is home to 8,000 Manchego sheep whose raw milk produces fantastic Manchego using artisan methods and PDO adherence.
