    Sheep's Milk Cheeses is a subcategory focused on cheeses made from sheep's milk, represented above all by Manchego (La Casota, Queso Campollano, Campoveja) in every grade of ageing and by Basque Idiazábal from Artzai Gazta in smoked and unsmoked versions. The range is completed by creamy Torta del Casar, mould-ripened Masiega, hard Zamorano and blended cheeses made from sheep's, goat's and cow's milk (known as tres leches). Sheep's milk cheeses typically have a fuller, nuttier flavour than goat's milk or cow's milk cheeses.

    How to find your way around this category

    Manchego is the best-known Spanish sheep's milk cheese from the La Mancha region, available in the semicurado (2-4 months), curado (8-12 months) and añejo (18-24 months) grades of ageing - some versions also with black truffle. Idiazábal comes from the Basque Country and Navarre and is characterised by its firm consistency, available unsmoked or traditionally smoked. Torta del Casar is a creamy cheese curdled with vegetable rennet, served with a spoon.

    As the ageing time increases, so do the intensity of the flavour and the price - semicurado is suitable as an all-purpose table cheese, while añejo is better for tasting.

    Manchego by grade of ageing

    Grade of ageing Ageing time Flavour
    Semicurado 2-4 months Mild, milky
    Curado 8-12 months More pronounced, nutty
    Añejo 18-24 months Intense, full, slightly piquant

    The versions with black truffle (both curado and semicurado) add a pronounced earthy aroma and truffle flavour to the basic flavour of the cheese.

    Idiazábal - smoked or unsmoked?

    Idiazábal is a traditional Basque and Navarrese cheese made from the milk of Latxa and Carranzana sheep. The unsmoked version has a clean, nutty flavour, while the traditional smoked variant (ahumado) also takes on a gently smoky note, typically from smoking over beech or hawthorn wood.

    Serve Torta del Casar at room temperature - once the top has been cut open, the creamy centre is easier to scoop out with a spoon.

    Frequently asked questions

    Which grade of ageing of Manchego should I choose?
    Semicurado is mild and versatile, curado offers a more pronounced nutty flavour and añejo is the most intense, better suited to tasting than as an everyday cheese.
    What is the difference between smoked and unsmoked Idiazábal?
    Unsmoked Idiazábal has a clean nutty flavour, while the smoked version (ahumado) also takes on a gently smoky note from traditional smoking.
    How is Torta del Casar eaten?
    The top of the cheese is cut open and the creamy, runny centre is scooped out with a spoon like a spread, ideally at room temperature.
    What is "tres leches" cheese?
    It is a cheese made from a mixture of cow's, sheep's and goat's milk, which combines the flavour characteristics of all three types of milk.
    Are sheep's milk cheeses more pronounced than goat's milk or cow's milk ones?
    Sheep's milk cheeses usually have a fuller, nuttier and richer flavour thanks to the higher fat content of sheep's milk compared with cow's milk.
