About EL CORTIJO, MANCHEGO CHEESE
An authentic Manchego-style cheese from El Cortijo, crafted from cultured pasteurized sheep's milk with salt and enzymes. Per 100 g it delivers 429 calories, 25 g of protein, 35.7 g of fat, and no carbohydrates or fiber. Manchego is a semi-firm Spanish cheese with a rich, buttery, slightly tangy flavor that intensifies with aging. The use of sheep's milk yields a higher fat content than most cow's milk cheeses, contributing to its characteristic creaminess and dense texture. Zero carbohydrates make it an ideal choice for strict low-carb and ketogenic diets. Pairs well with cured meats, olives, and dry red wines.
