Rich in flavor and history - located in the heart of La Mancha, in Los Yebnes, Toledo, a region of excellency and fame regarding cheese making. La Gruta del Sol makes an array of products ranging from aged manchegos to flavored sheep’s milk cheeses.

La Gruta Del Sol Manchegos begin with local sheep’s milk. The milk is heated and begin to form curds after 30 to 60 minutes. The curds are then pressed into molds. They are unmolded and salted by immersing them in brine. They are then aged and dried under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity.

MILD & CREAMY MANCHEGO SHEEP’S MILK CHEESE

Manchego, a flavorful sheep’s milk cheese, is undoubtedly Spain’s most famous cheese.

When young, Manchego has a mild, creamy and sweet aroma. The taste is sweet, salty and slightly nutty. The texture is smooth and creamy, and a little bit granular. This becomes more pronounced as it matures and the flavor becomes sharper. It is perfect on crusty breads, for snacks, used in sandwiches, or as an appetizer in tapas.
