Villajos Reserva is an authentic handmade, raw sheep's milk cheese. The 9-month aged Manchego has a full rich flavor with a healthy sharpness. Slice and serve with olives and sliced Serrano ham for the authentic flavor of Spain. Packed in a wooden box, it would make a superb 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 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 is 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.

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.

Le Villajos Réserve de 12 mois d'âge
-Véritable Manchego artisanal
-3 fois médallé
Le Villajos Réserve est un authentique fromage au lait de brebis artisanal. Le Manchego affiné est savoureux et sainement intense. En tranches avec des olives et de fins copeaux de jambon Serrano, vous aurez lá toute la saveur de l'Espagne. Vendu dans des boîtes en bois, il fait un superbe cadeau.

Il y a de nombreux fromages appelés Manchego, mais celui-ci leur est superieur á tous.
Bien que récemment arrivé sur le marché du fromage, le Villajos "curado" (affiné) á gagné le 1er Prix du Manchego en 2002, et une Médaille d'Argent en 2003 et 2006 lors du concours annuel de la Grande Sélection de Castilla-La Mancha. Lors de ce concours se disputent les prix les meilleurs vins, fromages Manchego, saffrans, huiles d'olive, etc...pour être élus les "meilleurs de l'année", chacun dans sa catégorie. Ce n'est pas tâche facile que de gagner autant de ces prestigieux prix en un laps de temps si court.

Le lait frais de la noble race des brebis Manchega, qui paît aux alentours du village, est tiré dans des seaux á lait et directement mis au frais pour en préserver l'arôme et la saveur naturels.

Le résultat, qui justifie amplement les éfoorts fournis, est un goût inégalable et bien-sûr superieur á celui des fromages au lait pasteurisé produits industriellement.

Ce processus de fabrication est supervisé du début á la fin par le Conseil d'Appellation d'Origine du Fromage Manchego.
